In 303 BCE after defeating the Greeks the [[Maurya Empire|Maryan Empire]] started its expansion Southwards. Till 273 BCE the territories upto [[Mysore]] in [[Karnataka]] where captured. However their is a dispute between who actually captured them.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.281321|title=Chandragupta Maurya And His Times|last=R K Mookerji|pages=62–64}}</ref> | |||
According to some Historians in 273 BCE [[Chandragupta Maurya]] captured them while Binduasra did not add anything to the [[Maurya Empire|Empire]] and just put offs some [[Rebellion|rebellions]] while some historians believe that Bindusara was the one who carried out the conquest of South with help of [[Chanakya]]. Tho a inscription of South mentions [[Ashoka]] in conquest of South but it's is not possible as his own Rock inscription mentions his only conquest was the [[Kalinga War]].<ref name=":0" /> | |||
