Question

Why do you think Gautamiputra Shri Satakami wanted to control the coasts?

Answer 1

Famous Satavahanas ruler Gautamiputra Shri Satakarni wanted to control the coasts because India was the center of the trade at that time. These coasts were used to import and export goods and other materials from foreign countries. Satakarni sent his army to the eastern, western and southern coasts to take control of them.
