Explanation

Samudragupta is called the 'Napoleon of India' because of his extensive military conquests that expanded the Gupta Empire across most of the Indian subcontinent. Historian V.A. Smith gave him this title due to his brilliant military campaigns and strategic victories, similar to Napoleon's reputation in Europe. Samudragupta was the son of Chandragupta I and father of Chandragupta II (Vikramaditya).
