Chandragupta Maurya: The creation of a national hero in India

by Sushma Jansari

Chandragupta Maurya is a national hero in India, an ancient icon who
vanquished the foreign invader. But sources for conflict between Mauryan and
Seleucid empires are contradictory, enabling divergent interpretations of
Chandragupta's victory or defeat, depending on who was telling the story, and
why. This book charts a path through the confusion.
