Book Description
When one recalls the "Glory that was Ind" one first thinks of the golden age of the Guptas. Emperors and Empires, India had seen earlier. But the power and the splendour of the Guptas were unique and none in the dynasty strove harder than Samudra Gupta to achieve them. If he was a benevolent despot he was also a scholar and a great soldier.
What little we know about Samudra Gupta is gathered from the coins he issued and from a few inscriptions. In this Chitra Katha we have relied on literary sources and our own imagination to reconstruct the life and times of one of the greatest rulers of our history.
