why did you remove my previous info i did give references
you just straight up removed valuable information Mauryan empire s total area was well over 5million sqkms not 3.4 millionsqkms. The edit by avinashchabral isnt authentic as joshuajonathan mentioned it only talks about the center of power ,not the maximum extent therefore the maximum extent should be left out. Historians do agree at some point in history mauryan empire streched till Kandhar which is in
Gandhara , PRESENT DAY AFGHANISTAN.
