As per Johannes Bronkhorst (Greater Magadha), the initial definition of Aryavarta excluded Magadha. It was only later that it was included as Brahmin influence expanded east (Perhaps with the Shungas)

This was such a good read!!

Looking forward to read more of your posts!

Any suggestions for a layman like me, to brush upon Rajput history? I know it is too vast, fragmented and centuries old to be encapsulated in a book. But something which will help me gain atleast a vague grasp on the subject.
