Answer 1

#1 IT IS THE FOURTH LARGEST POLITICAL ENTITY TO HAVE EVER RULED INDIA

After the fall of the Maurya Empire in 187 BCE, India entered an age of fragmentation where regional rulers began to take charge of smaller regions and there was warfare among rival kingdoms. In second half of 3rd century CE, Sri Gupta founded the Gupta Dynasty. It was Chandragupta I, the grandson of Sri Gupta, who turned his small ancestral kingdom into an empire, which ruled large parts of North India. His son Samudragupta further expanded the Gupta empire and greatly increased his dynasty’s political power. He defeated several kings of northern India and annexed their territories. He also marched along the south-eastern coast of India, advancing as far as the Pallava kingdom. Moreover, he subjugated several frontier kingdoms and tribal oligarchies. His son, Chandragupta II or Chandragupta Vikramaditya, is regarded as one of the greatest rulers in history and the Gupta empire reached its zenith during his reign. Under him, the Gupta empire stretched from the Indus River in the west to the Bengal region in the east; and from the Himalayan foothills in the north to the Narmada River in the south. At its greatest extent, the Gupta Empire is the 4th largest political entity to have ruled the Indian sub-continent. It encompassed an area of over 3.5 million sq km (1.4 million sq miles) with its capital city at Pataliputra, near modern Patna, Bihar.

#2 IT FOLLOWED AN EFFICIENT METHOD OF DECENTRALIZED ADMINISTRATION

Gupta Emperors followed a model of decentralized administration. They organized a hierarchy of officials exercising imperial authority in different parts of the country to help them systematically control their territories. There was a five tiered administration system in the regions which were under the direct control of the Gupta Empire. The hierarchy began at the imperial level with the Emperor and his Mantriparishad, or Council of Ministers; led by a Pradhan Mantri, or Prime Minister. The second layer dealt with the administration of the provinces headed by a group of officials called Kumaramatyas. The provinces were called Bhukti or Desa. Each province was divided into various districts called Pradesha or Pattana. A district was headed by Ayuktas or Vishyapatis. The fourth layer dealt with the administration of the villages (Vithi) and towns. Each village had a Village Assembly consisting of the elders of the village. It was guided by a head called Gramapati. The city administration was headed by a Chairman or Nagara Sreshtis. It consisted of representatives of various occupations including Sarthavaha, representing the trading communities; Prathamakulika, representing the artisans; and Prathamakayastha, representing the community of Government officials.
