When historians began reconstructing early Indian history in the nineteenth century, the emergence of the Mauryan Empire was regarded as a major landmark. The significance of the Mauryan empire was:
- India was then under colonial rule and was the part of the British empire. Nineteenth and early twentieth-century Indian historians found the possibility that there was an empire in early India both challenging and exciting.
- Some of the archaeological finds associated with the Mauryas, including stone sculpture, were considered to be examples of the spectacular art typical of empires. Many of these historians found the message on Asokan inscriptions very different from that of most other rulers, suggesting that Asoka was more powerful and industrious, as also more humble than later rulers who adopted grandiose titles.
- Nationalist leaders in the twentieth century regarded him as an inspiring figure.
- Ashoka also tried to hold his empire together by propagating dhamma, the principles of which, as we have seen, were simple and virtually universally applicable. This includes respect towards elders, generosity towards Brahmanas and those who renounced world life, treating slaves and servants kindly and respect for religions and traditions other than one's own.
- The Mauryan Empire lasted for about 150 years, which is not a very long time in the vast span of the history of the subcontinent. The empire did not encompass the entire subcontinent. And even within the frontiers of the empire, control was not uniform. By the second century BCE, new chiefdoms and kingdoms emerged in several parts of the subcontinent.

Around 15% of the total population during the 17th century lived in the towns. This figure (15%) on average was even larger than the proportion of people inhabiting urban centers in Western Europe during the same period. Bernier uses the term "Camp Town" to describe these urban centers; meaning that these towns owed their permanence and were dependent on the imperial camps. He argues that these camps (towns) emerged with the move in of the imperial court and declined with the move out of the imperial courts. Furthermore, he intimated that these camps did not have a viable economic and social base but were subservient on royal patronage.

- The Pallavas emerged as a formidable power in the South around the 4th century AD and were at the height of their power in the seventh century AD. They were able to sustain their rule for about 500 years. They built great cities, centres of learning, temples and sculptures and influenced a large part of Southeast Asia in culture.
- The origins of the Pallavas are shrouded in mystery. There are several theories propounded by historians.
- Some historians say they are a branch of the Pahlavas of the Parthians who moved to the South.
- Some say they are an indigenous dynasty that arose within the Southern region and were a mix of various tribes.
- Some experts believe them to be of Naga origin who first settled around the Tondaimandalam region near Madras.
- Another theory says that they are descendent from a Chola prince and a Naga princess of Manipallavam (an island off Jaffna, Sri Lanka).
- Some others are of the opinion that the Pallavas were feudatories of the Satavahanas.
- The first Pallava kings ruled during the beginning of the 4th century AD. By the 7th century AD, there were three kingdoms in southern India vying for supremacy namely the Chalukyas of Badami, the Pandyas of Madurai and the Pallavas of Kanchipuram.
