India is probably one of the richest countries in the world in terms of its history and heritage in terms of rulers and ruling clans. Thousands of years have passed and the country has seen several dynasties rulers, emperors and conquerors. Let us take a look at some of the greatest kings that ruled this land. This ranking is based on the number of years ruled, the total region ruled and the impact on India the rule had.

Shivaji Bhosle was the founder and the greatest king of the Maratha Empire. Heading from the Bhosle Maratha clan he created an independent Maratha kingdom with Raigad as its capital. He was crowned as Chhatrapati for leading the struggle against the Adil Shahi Sultanate of Bijapur and the Mughal Empire. He is remembered as a great warrior and a hero who united most of India against the Mughals. Shivaji is also known for pioneering the Gurila warfare methods using geography, speed and surprise for attacks against more powerful and larger enemies. Number four, Prithviraj Johan. Prithviraj is considered to be the greatest warrior of India and also one of the greatest in the world. He was known as the warrior king. Johan was the last independent Hindu king before Hemu to sit upon the throne of Delhi. He succeeded the throne in 1169 AD at the age of 20 and ruled the twin capitals of Ajmer and Delhi. He defeated the mighty Bhimdev, ruler of Gujarat at the mere age of 13. He was trained in archery and could aim at a target while being blindfolded. His love story with his enemy, Jaichand's daughter Samyukta or Sanyogita is very famous. He wrote off with her on the day of her swamper. Number three, Rajaraja Chola. He was popularly known as Rajaraja the Great. Rajaraja translates to the king of kings. He is one of the greatest emperors of India. He went down in history as the harbinger of the heights of the Chola glory. It was during his reign that the Chola dynasty started to emerge as a great empire. By conquering several kingdoms in India, he expanded the Chola empire as far as Sri Lanka in the south and Kalinga, Odisha in the northeast. Rajaraja Chola was one of the greatest sovereign of South India, a valiant conqueror and empire builder, an able administrator, a patron of arts and letters. He was a great patron of Tamil literature as during his reign, the texts of the famous Tamil poets, Appar, Sambandar and Sundarvaro collected and edited into one compilation called Tirumurai. He initiated a massive project of land survey and assessment in 1080, which strengthened the imperial administration and led to the reorganization of the empire into units known as Balanadas. He built the famous Brihadeeshwarar temple which is one of the largest and tallest temples in India. Number two, Chandragukta Maurya. He was the founder of the Maurya empire and the first emperor to unify most of greater India into one state. He ruled from 322 BC until his voluntary retirement and abdication in favour of his son, Vindusara in 290 BC. Chandragukta Maurya was a pivotal figure in the history of India. Prior to his consolidation of power, most of the Indian subcontinent was divided into small states, while the Nanda empire dominated the Indus Gangetic plain. Chandragukta succeeded in conquering and subjugating almost all of the Indian subcontinent by the end of his reign except the Tamil regions, the Chera, Chola and Pandya and the modern-day state Odisha or Kalinga. His empire extended from Bengal in the east to Afghanistan and Balochistan in the west to the Himalayas and Kashmir in the north and to the Deccan Plateau in the south. It is the largest empire yet seen in Indian history. Number one, Ashoka. He was commonly known as Ashoka or Ashoka the Great. One of India's greatest emperors, Ashoka reigned over a realm that stretched from the Hindukush mountains in the west to Bengal in the east and covered the entire Indian subcontinent except parts of present-day Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The empire's capital was Patiliputra in Magadha, present-day Bihar, with provincial capitals at Taksila and Ujjain. In about 260 BC, Ashoka waged a bitterly destructive war against the state of Kalinga. He conquered Kalinga, which none of his ancestors had done. He embraced Buddhism after witnessing the mass deaths of the Kalinga war, which he himself had waged out of a desire for conquest. Ashoka reflected on the war in Kalinga, which reportedly had resulted in more than 100,000 deaths and 150,000 deportations. Ashoka converted gradually to Buddhism, beginning about 263 BC.

If you have the oldest civilization basically, either are or debated are one or two of the oldest civilizations on the planet. Yeah, so them, China and Egypt. That mean that are the most prominent with a global expansiveness and known. And they've had a ton of people try to take them over. Because I think obviously the Mogos did, the Chinese obviously the English did. There was a ton of that, but there's so much history. I didn't know any one of those names. And they did I! I was expecting to see some of like the, some, some movie we've seen though. Right, some historic epic. That just shows you how many they've actually had. Yep. Just amazing to me, just still continue to learn. And I would love to learn more about like all of these, like because it's like history, especially when it's good history, is fun to learn about. Because you learn about all these different rules, some of them. It seems like Tamil to do is a very difficult reason to take over for a lot of them. Yeah, I don't know if people are very proud people. Yeah, I don't know if that's terrain or it's just they fought them off or whatever that might be. It's just, it's really intriguing the amount of history in every way, in artistry, in politics, in religious expression. It's encyclopedic. It's just, it's just never ending. That was really interesting. You know how hard it is to rule over, especially like at that time, an entire continent, the way some of them took over? Like how do you even do that? I know, like Alexander the Great. Yeah. You, what you do is you give power to other men who are loyal to you. Yeah, that you give them enough that it makes them feel rewarded, but don't give them so much that they feel like they could take you over. Because that happens to a lot of the kings. They give the power to people and then they get too upbeat and then they have to kill them and replace them. And that's why most dictatorial empires don't last because the dictators attract dictators. Yeah. So, you know, not equating any of these kings to dictatorship. I'm talking about singular rulership and I couldn't think of another term for it other than dictatorial. How dare you? Whether it's a king or an emperor or I wasn't talking about style of leadership, just singularity of the ruler. We don't know anything about anything. None of them don't know anything about them other than they were conquerors. Like we've seen so many different movies or whatever trailers where it's depicted a different king or different ruler at the time. Yeah. And a lot of them are, they say they were great rulers, or I guess in certain aspects like they weren't the like, in Padma fight, Renveer, who he was playing like some villain. But he was a ruler. Right. He was like an evil, well, they were there. There's been a lot of bad rulers. We know one right now pretty well. Who? I don't know what you're talking about. But if there's more videos that can teach us history of India, different times in India, different people of Indian history, you know we're all about that. So let us know more down below.
