The spy system was an integral part of the Administration of Mauryan Empire. The goals of the secret service was to test the integrity of government officials, spy on cartels and population for conspiracy, to monitor hostile kingdoms, to destabilize enemy states, to get rid of troublesome powerful people who could not be challenged openly.

The emperor Ashoka is considered to be one of India’s greatest monarchs, and was the third ruler of the Mauryan Empire. Whilst Ashoka’s conquests pale in comparison to his illustrious grandfather’s, he is widely remembered as a Buddhist ruler, and it was his contributions to Buddhism and morality that made him such a renowned figure in Indian history.

The 2-foot torso is one of the two found in 1937 in an area of Patna. The smaller torso is one foot tall. Historian K.P. Jayaswal reported that the excavation of the site revealed a Mauryan coin and a number of Mauryan bricks from a square-shaped temple, suggesting the torso is from the Mauryan period. The statue is an outstanding example of Mauryan polish, an advanced polishing technique essentially characteristic of the Mauryan Empire, which almost fell out of use after that period.

Agricultural developments in India led to a rise in population, as well as the development of larger and denser cities. From this population expansion rose “mahajanapadas” (great realms) such as the Magadha Kingdom, which for the first time attempted to expand their territory and unify the Indian peoples. Magadha’s successor, the Maurya Empire, would become the first to successfully do so. (~400 BC; Rajgir, Magadha Kingdom)
