Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video explores the history of Ancient India through the lens of the Maurya Empire, using the symbolism of the modern Indian flag as an engaging entry point. The host connects the blue wheel (Ashoka Chakra) in the center of India's flag to Emperor Ashoka, a ruler who unified much of the subcontinent. The narrative details the rise of the empire under Chandragupta Maurya, the administrative contributions of Chanakya, and the transformative reign of Ashoka, who shifted from conquest to governance based on peace and religious tolerance.
