Which one of the following was an important contributing factor in the rise of Magadha as the most powerful Mahajanapada between the Sixth and the Fourth Centuries BCE?
Easy access to rich gold mines
Superior cavalry
An agriculturally productive region
Republican system of governance
The rise of Magadha as the most powerful Mahajanapada was influenced by several factors; let's analyze the given options:
- Easy access to rich gold mines:
- This was not a significant factor for Magadha's rise. Magadha's power was not primarily based on gold mines.
- Superior cavalry:
- While military strength was important for Magadha, there is no specific historical evidence that superior cavalry alone was the key factor.
- An agriculturally productive region:
- Correct Answer: Magadha was located in the fertile Gangetic plains, which supported productive agriculture. This economic stability and resource surplus enabled military and political expansion.
- Republican system of governance:
- Magadha was known for its monarchical system, and the governance system was not republican during this period.
An agriculturally productive region is the correct answer, as it provided the resources needed for expansion and sustenance.
