In this episode we discuss about the origins and the birth of the Shunga Empire which was led by Pushyamitra Shunga, who was an army general/ military commander of the Mauryan State led by Brihadratha Maurya, the last ruler of the much weakened Mauryan dynasty. Post the demise of the Mauryan State, it is often alleged in some academic circles and by certain vested groups that the Buddhism declined post the end of Mauryan Empire, majority of which are speculations and theories. However, the historical evidences and accounts differ with regard to the same. Also, we discuss on what were the real reasons (as the accounts mentions) that the Buddhism fell in India.
To throw a light on this complex subject, we have with us Shri. Jay Vardhan Singh, who is a research scholar in ancient Indian history and his associated with one of the respected institutions of our country i.e. JNU.
