Q.

The title 'Indian Napolean' has been attached to -

A. Chandra Gupta Maurya
B. Samudragupta
C. Chandragupta-I
D. Harshavardhana
Answer» B. Samudragupta
Explanation: Samudragupta (335-375 AD) of the Gupta dynasty known as the Napoleon of India. Historian A V Smith called him so because of his great military conquest known from the Prayag Prashati written by his courtier and poet Harisena, who also describes him as the hero of a hundred battles. But some leading Indian historians criticize Smith and feel that Samudragupta was a far greater warrior than Napoleon, as the former never lost any battle.
