The Great Emperor Samudragupta (AD 344-378), has been referred to by historians as “Napoleon of India”.

I have thought about this label often, especially after the last book launch and feel it is time to revise this very old (colonial mindset) reference. Instead it would be more appropriate to refer to Napoleon as the Samudragupta of his times.

Attached is a Gold coin showing the King killing a Tiger with his bow and arrow and a page from the book -Treasures of the Gupta Empire) discussing this coin which was issued by a young Samudragupta while he was just starting to expand the Gupta Empire.
