name some of the unique achievements of samudragupta

Samudra Gupta was chosen as emperor by his father over other contenders and apparently had to repress revolts in his first years of rule. On pacifying the kingdom, which probably then reached from what is now Allahabad (in present-day Uttar Pradesh state) to the borders of Bengal, he began a series of wars of expansion from his northern base near what is now Delhi. In the southern Pallava kingdom of Kanchipuram, he defeated King Vishnugopa, then restored him and other defeated southern kings to their thrones on payment of tribute. Several northern kings were uprooted, however, and their territories added to the Gupta empire. At the height of Samudra Gupta’s power, he controlled nearly all of the valley of the Ganges (Ganga) River and received homage from rulers of parts of east Bengal, Assam, Nepal, the eastern part of the Punjab, and various tribes of Rajasthan. He exterminated 9 monarchs and subjugated 12 others in his campaigns.[5] That Samdudragupta was a brilliant commander and a great conqueror is proved by Harisena's description of his conquests. He mentions that Samudragaupta exterminated nine north Indian states, Subdued eithteen Atavika kingdoms near Bajalpur and Chhota Nagpur, and in his blitz-like campaign humbled the pride of twelve South Indian Kings, Nine border tribes, and five frontier states of Smatata, Devaka, Karupa, Nepal and Krtripur 'paid taxes, obeyed orders and performed obeisance in person to the great Samudragupta'. The conquests made him the lord-paramount of India. Fortune's child as he was, he was never defeated in any battle. His Eran inscription also stresses his being 'invincible' in battle.[3] Samudragupta is called the 'Napoleon of India' because he waged many wars.But The correct sentence should be Napoleon is called the 'Samudragupta of France' Because he waged so many wars.[5]

The details of Samudragupta's campaigns are too numerous to recount (these can be found in the first reference below). However it is clear that he possessed a powerful navy in addition to his army. In addition to tributary kingdoms, many other rulers of foreign states like the Saka and Kushan kings aczepted the suzerainty of Samudragupta and offered him their services. Samudragupta is called 'Napoleon of India' because he waged many wars.[6] At first he defeated the rulers of Western UP and Delhi and brought them under his direct rule. Next, frontier states of Kamrupa(Assam),Bengal in the East and Punjab in the West, were made to accept his suzerainty. He also brought the forest tribes of the Vindhya region under his rule.

His greatest achievement was conquring South India.

Buddhism teaches to follow eight fold path:

1. Right View. The right way to think about life is to see the world through the eyes of the Buddha--with wisdom and compassion.

?2. Right Thought. We are what we think. Clear and kind thoughts build good, strong characters.?

3. Right Speech. By speaking kind and helpful words, we are respected and trusted by everyone.?

4. Right Conduct. No matter what we say, others know us from the way we behave. Before we criticize others, we should first see what we do ourselves.?

5. Right Livelihood. This means choosing a job that does not hurt others. The Buddha said, "Do not earn your living by harming others. Do not seek happiness by making others unhappy."

?6. Right Effort. A worthwhile life means doing our best at all times and having good will toward others. This also means not wasting effort on things that harm ourselves and others.

?7. Right Mindfulness. This means being aware of our thoughts, words, and deeds.?

8. Right Concentration. Focus on one thought or object at a time. By doing this, we can be quiet and attain true peace of mind.

The production of?silk?originates in?China?in the?Neolithic?(Yangshao culture, 4th millennium BCE). Silk remained confined to China until the?Silk Road?opened at some point during the later half of the first millennium BCE. China maintained its virtual?monopoly?over?silk production?for another thousand years. Not confined to?clothing, silk was also used for a number of other applications, including writing, and the color of silk worn was an important guide of?social class?during the?Tang Dynasty.

Silk cultivation spread to Japan around 300 CE, and, by 522 CE, the?Byzantines?managed to obtain?silkworm?eggs and were able to begin silkworm cultivation. The Arabs also began to manufacture silk during this same time. As a result of the spread of?sericulture, Chinese silk exports became less important, although they still maintained dominance over the?luxury?silk market. The?Crusades?brought silk production to Western Europe, in particular to many Italian states, which saw an economic boom exporting silk to the rest of Europe. Changes in manufacturing techniques also began to take place during the Middle Ages, with devices such as the?spinning wheel?first appearing. During the 16th century France joined Italy in developing a successful silk trade, though the efforts of most other nations to develop a silk industry of their own were unsuccessful.

The?Industrial Revolution?changed much of Europe?s silk industry. Due to innovations in spinning?cotton, cotton became much cheaper to manufacture and therefore caused more expensive silk production to become less mainstream. New weaving technologies, however, increased the efficiency of production. Among these was the?Jacquard loom, developed for silk embroidery. An?epidemic?of several silkworm diseases caused production to fall, especially in France, where the industry never recovered. In the 20th century Japan and China regained their earlier role in silk production, and China is now once again the world?s largest producer of silk. The rise of new fabrics such as?nylon?reduced the prevalence of silk throughout the world, and silk is now once again a rare luxury good, much less important than in its heyday.
