Patliputra, (presently known as Patna) has been historically a very important
city politically and strategically. Like Delhi, Patliputra has seen the ups and
downs of development and great reversals. The well known Chinese traveler
Fahian, who visited the city in 399 BC described it as prosperous city
endowed with rich natural resources. At the same time, another Chinese
traveler Huen sang described it as a city of rubbles and ruins.
Shishunagvanshi established the city on the southern bank of the Ganges. It was addressed with different names at different times. To. illustrate a few names, Pushpapur, Pushpanagar, Patliputra and Patna.
The city was industrious in producing essential commodities and luxurious goods for the rich. When Chanakya entered the city, it was known for respecting knowledgeable people and scholars. The intellectuals from across the country were warmly invited for the intercourse of new ideas and development of the state. It was virtually the city of fortunes as it recognized the true talent and rewarded richly for the work done by an individual. No wonder Chanakya decided to start his glorious campaign from Patliputra.
