The rise of Mahajanpad

 India and its history ,As one goes deeper ,it turns out be more royal and surprises you about so many aspect of our country . As I have never been so fond of history as a subject as I grown up ,I started like it as a story of our glorious  past and It intrigued me and I got to know so much which I didn't know earlier .This land has been rich from so many years and still continue to living that richness . The rise of Mahajanpadas has its own interesting story to know .                During Ancient times ,There were 16 Mahajanpadas which dates from 600BC to 325 BC. These mahajanapad had its own story . These were Anga ,Magadha ,Vajji ,Malla ,Kashi ,Kosala ,Vatsa ,Chedi ,Kuru ,Panchala ,Shurasena ,Matsya ,Avanti ,Ashmaka ,Gandhara and Kamboja . These Mahajanpadas were divided into two types of states - 1)Monarchical 2) Non Monarchical  . There were some states which was monarchial and those states were Anga ,Magadha ,Kashi ,Kosala ,Vatsa ,Chedi ,Shurasena ,Matsya ,Avanti ,Gandhara and There were some states which were Republican and those states were Vajji,Malla ,Kuru ,Panchal ,Kamboja ,Shakya ,Koliyas ,Moriya .  The political history of India from 6th century BC onwards is the history of struggle between four states and these states were Magadha ,Kosala ,Vatsa and Avanti for supremacy . But ultimately ,The Kingdom of Magadha emerged to be the most powerful one and succeeded in founding an empire . Magadha enjoyed a special advantage in military organisation . Magadha emerged as one of the most powerful kingdom during those times .                                                    I am glad to know the history which is so deep and initially rooted in the lap of our country .I am happy to know it because my paternal roots belong to magadh and my father told me lot of stories about it  . Indeed ,India has always been great and will remain forever .
