Yes ,CHANDRAGUPTA was one of the greatest rulers of India. He ruled over an India more exten­sive than British India, with its boundaries extended beyond the frontiers up to the borders of Persia to Burma. He- was the first Indian ruler to bring together the valleys of the Indus, Ganges and Bharamputra under one political authority.Chandragupta Maurya The Great((born c. 345 BCE, ruled c. 320 BCE-298 BCE), was the founder of the Maurya Empire. He succeeded in conquering all Indian subcontinent and is considered the first unifier of India as well as its first genuine emperor. In foreign Greek and Latin accounts, Chandragupta is known as Sandrokyptos Σανδρόκυπτος), Sandrokottos(Σανδρόκοττος) or Androcottus.Chandragupta's achievements, which ranged from conquering Macedonian satrapies in the northwest and conquering the Nanda Empire by the time he was only about 25 years old, also defete Seleucus I Nicator and establishing centralized rule throughout South Asia, remain some of the most celebrated in the history of India. Over two thousand years later, the accomplishments of Chandragupta stand out not only in the history of South Asia rather then all world.Chandragupta's conquests, the Maurya Empire extended from Burma and Assam in the east, to Afghanistan and eastern Iran and south east Iran and Baluchistan, in the west, to Kashmir and Nepal in the north, and to the Deccan Plateau and South Karnataka in the south. Tradition holds that Chandragupta abdicated his throne to become a monk and led such an ascetic life that he starved himself to death. Whether or not this is factually accurate, he was succeeded by his son in 298 BC.Chandragupta gave up his throne in 298 BCE, when he was 47 years-old, and became an ascetic under the Jain saint Acharya Bhadrabahu, migrating south with them and ending his days in "sallekhana" at Śravaṇa Beḷgoḷa, in present day Karnataka; though fifth-century inscriptions in the area support the concept of a larger southern migration around that time. A small temple marks the cave (Bhadrabahu Cave) where he is said to have died by fasting.There are two hills in Śravaṇa Beḷgoḷa, Chandragiri (Chikkabetta) and Vindyagiri. The last shruta-kevali, Bhadrabahu and his pupil Chandragupta Maurya, are believed to have meditated here. Chandragupta Basadi, which was dedicated to Chandragupta Maurya, was originally built there by Emperor Ashoka in the third century BCE.
