Ajata Shatto, King of Magada

Ajata shattu, king of magada, is a enigmatic figure in the history of early india. What we have just witnessed is a fictional but somewhat plausible recreation of one of the most significant events in his career. He was trying to subjugate the many oligarchies or republics, or ganaragias and granasangas of the gangetic plains some time in the late fifth century. The buddha was already shaking things up through his popularity and his new religious eas similarly, world shaking things were happening in the realm of politics,. If not for him, early India might have looked like a very, very different place.
