List of Hindu empires and dynasties
Hindu empires rose to power following the birth of Hinduism in the Indian subcontinent. The Maurya Empire founded by Chandragupta, during the reign of Ashoka, was one of the largest empires in Asia, diplomatically engaging with Greece, Macedonia, Epirus, Cyrene and Egypt.[1] The period of the Gupta Empire under Samudragupta is sometimes attributed to as the First Golden Age of India.[2] The historical and geographic extent of Indian civilization is referred to as Greater India.
The following list enumerates Hindu empires and dynasties in chronological order.
