The Mauryan Empire, an early South Asian state, was formerly thought to command the majority of the Indian subcontinent. A re-examination of antiquity and historical data offers a new understanding of Mauryan kingdom, one that is less concerned with geographical domination and more concerned with relational networks. This viewpoint allows for an examination of long-term patterns of interaction throughout the Early Historic period (ca. 600 B.C.E.–C.E. 600) of the Mauryan polity that extends beyond the political component. Furthermore, this model may be extended to incorporate parallel networks of contact that existed independently of governmental authority and would last long after various dynastic powers had declined. Under Mauryan Empire authority, a large portion of the Indian subcontinent was unified, and a secure central government was established, which resulted in the creation of the basic social structure and its caste systems.
