A Correct answer
Explanation

Samudragupta earned the title 'Napoleon of India' due to his extensive military conquests across North India. His campaign, documented by Harisena in the Allahabad Pillar inscription, conquered numerous kingdoms from the Himalayas to the Vindhyas and from the Brahmaputra to the western borders. Unlike Napoleon who eventually lost his empire, Samudragupta consolidated his conquests effectively and established a vast, stable realm through diplomacy and military prowess.
