Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar has categorically brought out
the political history of the Mauryas as Nagvanshis in 'The Triumph of
Brahmanism: Regicide or the birth of counter-Revolution', chapter 11,
Revolution and counter-Revolution (Ref. BAWS, Vol. 3 P. 267-268). To quote
Babasaheb :
“Let me therefore briefly recount the salient facts
of Indian history. For it is important that everyone who was able to understand
the history of India must know that it is nothing but the history of struggle
for supremacy between Brahmanism and Buddhism.
The Aryans have left very little their political
achievements for history to speak of. The political history of India begins
with the rise of a non-Aryan people called Nagas, who were a powerful people,
whom the Aryans were unable to conquer, with whom the Aryans had to make peace,
and whom the Aryans were compelled to recognise as their equals. Whatever
"fame and glory" India achieved in ancient times in the political
field, the credit for it goes entirely to the Non-Aryan Nagas. It is they who
made India great and glorious in the annals of the world.
The first landmark in India's political history is
the emergence of the Kingdom of Magadha in Bihar in the year 642 B.C. The
founder of the kingdom of Magadha is known by the name of Sisunag and belonged
to the non-Aryan race of Nagas. From the small beginning made by Sisunag, this
kingdom of Magadha grew in its extent under the capable rulers of this sisunag
dynasty. Under Bimbisara the Fifth ruler of this dynasty the kingdom grew into
an Empire and came to be as the Empire of Magadha. The Sisunag dynasty
continued to rule the kingdom till 413 B.C. In that year the reigning Emperor
of Susunag Dynasty Mahananda was killed by an adventurer called Nanda. Nanda
usurped the throne of Magadha and founded the Nanda Dynasty. This Nanda Dynasty
ruled over the empire of Magdha upto 322 B.C. The last Nanda king was deposed
by Chandragupta who founded the Maurya Dynasty. Chandragupta was related to the
family of the last ruling emperor of the sisunag Dynasty so that it may be said
that the revolution effected by Chandragupta was really a resoration of the
Naga Empire of Magadha.
The Mauryas by their conquests enormously extended
the boundaries of this empire of Magdha which they inherited. So vast became
the growth of this Empire under Ashoka, the Empire began to be known by another
name. It was called the Maurya Empire or the Empire of Ashoka. (ref. : BAWS
Vol. 3, P. 267-268, Mah. Govt. Pub.)
Here, Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar categorically proves the
Mauryas and Ashoka as Nagvanshi. Thus the chronology of Nagvanshi non-Aryan
rule
