Please help Why did Deccan was divided into many kingdoms after the decline of Mauyran power?

It was too large and could not

remain functioning under the

rule of a weak king. If the

king was good, the empire was

successful.

Other Causes for the

Decline of the Mauryan Empire

• Economic issues:

– crisis follows death of Ashoka

– High costs of bureaucracy, not enough tax

money to pay the military

– Frequent devaluations of currency to pay

salaries (inflation, money not worth as

much)

– Rulers after Asoka charged heavy taxes

and seized large portions of crops grown by

peasants

Maurya Decline

• Military issues:

– The northwest frontier of India

was always exposed.

– This left their empire vulnerable

to foreign invaders.

Maurya Decline

• Social issues:

– Internal revolt- led by the chief

of the Maurya army, General

Pushyamitra in 185 BC. This

general held a parade of the

army and then killed the king on

the spot with his army’s support.
