Chandragupata Maurya was an emperor of India. His great success was to defeat Selucus, King of Greece. He was married with Helan, a Greek Princess. His son Emperor Bindusar Maurya was also an efficient ruler. Great Emperor Ashok Maurya was his grandson.

He was a Shakya kshatriya by caste. His father King Koir was ruler of Kingdom of Pippaliwan, who was killed before his birth. His mother Queen Mura widow of King Koir came to Patliputra (Patna). Here She worked hard to earn livelihood and even suffered defamation charges. But She inspired her son to be a great king. Chandragupta did the same. Initially he got job in Army of Maghadha. Then attacked Maghadha with the help of rival/Salaried soldiers, Chanakya and Kashmir King Parvatak and By this win, he became first emperor of India.
