The Indian subcontinent for most of its history was not united into one political unit. Rather, regional kingdoms and political entities vied for control and resources. This was the case at the end of the Vedic era as these Mahajanapadas, or “Great Realms” dominated South Asia. In 322 BCE, however, the earliest attempt to unify the subcontinent under one ruler began in the kingdom of Magadha, located in the Ganges Plain. The resulting state, the Maurya Empire, would consolidate power in India more thoroughly than any until the fifteenth century CE.
