The main factors that led to the rise of Buddhism and Jainism in India are the following:

1. Rigid Caste System: in the social hierarchy the priests were on the top and the shudras were on the bottom. The shudra or the fourth Varna people were not allowed to perform the Vedic rituals and they were banned to chant the Vedic mantras.

2. The new coinage: the traditional people opposed the use of coinage. They preferred the traditional barter system instead of coinage.  

3. Language barrier: the Vedas were written in the Sanskrit (which was a language of upper varnas), this was not the language of common people. Therefore, the third and fourth Varna people could not understand the beliefs of Vedas. Therefore, they wanted a religion which would be accessible for all Varna people.

The main tenets of Jainism are the following:

1. Truth - Satya

2. Non-violence - Ahimsa

3. Celibacy/Chastity - Brahmacharya

4. Non-stealing - Achaurya or Asteya

5. Non-attachment/Non-possession - Aparigraha

The main tenets of Buddhism are the following:

1. The Three Universal Truths;

2. The Four Noble Truths; and

3. The Noble Eightfold Path.

Chandragupta Maurya was born sometime around 340 BCE, reportedly in Patna, now in the Bihar state of India.

<hr />

He was of humble origin, since nobody recorded anything about him until he founded the Mauryan Empire. 

<hr />

Chandragupta was brave and charismatic – a born leader. 

<hr />

The young man came to the attention of a famous Brahmin scholar, Chanakya, who began to groom Chandragupta helping him raise an army, and taught him tactics through different Hindu sutras.

<hr />

Chandragupta’s new empire, at the time of it's founding, stretched from what is now Afghanistan in the west to Myanmar (Burma) in the west, and from Jammu/Kashmir in the north to the Deccan Plateau in the south. Chanakya served as the equivalent of a “prime minister” in the fledgling government.

<hr />

When Alexander the Great died in 323 BCE, his generals divided up his empire so that each of them would have a territory to rule. By about 316, Chandragupta Maurya was able to defeat and incorporate all the ones in the mountains of Central Asia, extending his empire to the edge of what is now Iran, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

<hr />

By the end of his reign, Chandragupta Maurya had unified almost all of the Indian subcontinent under his rule. His grandson, Ashoka, would go on to add Kalinga and the Tamils to the empire, as well.

<hr />

Chandragupta became fascinated with Jainism, an extremely ascetic belief system.

<hr />

In 298 BCE, the emperor renounced his rule, handing over power to his son Bindusara. Chandragupta traveled south to a cave at Shravanabelogola, now in Karntaka. There he meditated without eating or drinking for five weeks, until he died of starvation. 

<hr />

Chandragupta is remembered as the unifier of India and was the first king to be depicted on an Indian Postage Stamp.

The three major branches of communication in India are telephones, television broadcast and internet. India has about 1.2 billion phone subscribers as of 2017, making it the second largest telecommunication system in the world. Due to recent innovation and a large number of users, the tariffs are also one of the lowest in the world

India also has the second largest number of internet users in the world. It has about 450 million internet users, which is nearly 13.6% share of the global internet users. Recent developments since 2016 have made internet subscriptions and mobile networks very cheap. This has greatly helped with market penetration.

Since the privatisation drive of 1990, India’s television industry has seen a complete overhaul. What started with only one channel, Doordarshan now is a global network of thousands and thousands of channels and platforms. Even today T.V. broadcast is believed to be the most far-reaching and penetrative source of communication, especially in the rural sectors.
