Chandragupta Maurya established the Maurya Empire, also known as the Mauryan Empire, in South Asia during the ancient Indian Iron Age in 322 BCE. The empire lasted until 185 BCE in a loosely organized form.
The Mauryan empire was an effective and well-run autocrat with a civil service and a standing army. The Artha-shastra (The Science of Material Gain), a work of political economy akin in style and scope to Niccol Machiavelli's The Prince, was inspired by that bureaucracy and how it operated.

Pushyamitra Shunga eventually brought an end to the Maurya empire in 185 BC. He was a general under Brihadratha, the final Mauryan emperor, despite being a brahmana. He is supposed to have stolen the throne of Pataliputra by force and murdered Brihadratha in front of everyone.
