Samudragupta (335-375 AD) of the Gupta dynasty is known as the Napoleon of India. Historian A V Smith called him so because of his great military conquests known from the 'Prayag Prashati' written by his courtier and poet Harisena, who also describes him as the hero of a hundred battles. But some leading Indian historians criticise Smith and feel that Samudragupta was a far greater warrior than Napoleon, as the former never lost any battle.

Samudragupta was really a great fighter. But he was known as nepoleon of India , a new thing. Thaks for the information.
You'd need Napoleon. India's most senior army officer has declared that the country needs to prepare for a two-front war with China .
