Chapter 4 · New Beginnings: Cities and States

Rise of the Mahajanapadas

Travel the Ganga plains as a young trader in the 1st millennium BCE. Cross four regions, answer the questions of village elders and city guards, and collect punch-marked coins as you learn how India's first cities and states came to be.

How this works: Four regions, five questions each. Every answer teaches you something — right or wrong, you'll always see why. Collect coins, earn a rank at the end of each region, and complete your journey to the first great states of ancient India.
