Some historians refer to the use of word ‘kulahina’ in Vishakhadatta’s Mudrarakshasa for Chandragupta to infer that his origin was unknown. Be what it was, the Jain traditions have settled the issue that he was a Kshtriya belonging to a Jat Clan named Maurya,” argues the community’s popular website. Nevertheless, he held a high rank in Nanda army. “His mother Mura is said to belong to a low caste family. In her controversial book, The Hindus -An Alternate History, Wendy Doniger writes: “Chandragupta Maurya usurped the Nanda throne in 321 BCE…Buddhist texts say that Mauryas were Kshatriyas of the clan of Moriyas and Shakyas (the clan of Buddha himself), while Brahmin texts says they were Vaishyas or even Shudras, and heretic.”Įven the Jats believe he was one of their own. But scholars, Indian as well as Greek and English, have not been able to conclusively establish if Maurya was a Kshatriya, a Shudra, a Vaishya, a Buddhist or a Modi, well, somebody from the Indian PM's clan. There is some unanimity on the name Maurya, derived from Moriyas, ostensibly because the great ruler came from a village with lots of peacocks. Since the beginning of history, the exact genealogy of the founder of the Mauryan Dynasty (321-185 BCE) has been a mystery because of contrasting narratives and contradictory claims. A convenient mix of democracy and sycophancy, combined with the serendipitous rise of Narendra Modi, is on the verge of solving a riddle that has troubled historians for nearly 2500 years: Who was Chandragupta Maurya?
