      1. Friend nice try
        Map is good
        But the answer lacks content
        also proximity to iron producing region and fertile land are geographical factor itself.
        other reasons are
        -strong and ambitious rulers.
        -trade as you have mentioned
        -less influence of brahmanical tradition and beliefs
        and so on
        you need to provide examples to support your points
        the conclusion and intro could be better
        Keep writing

        1. hi emperor..

          though im not from history optional.. ncert mentions that its proximity to forests gave access to wood and elephants which were helpful in war too

          1. Hi Raashi,
            after a long time 🙂
            What you have mentioned is how geographical factors led to the rise of Magadha which can be mentioned in first part……
            But the second part of the question wants us to write factors other than geographical…..this is what I was talking about.
            So are you writing on forum?
