Sometime after *c.* 390 A. D. Chandragupta II launched a powerful offensive against the Śaka Kshatrapas of Mālwā, Gujarat and Kathiawar. The campaign was very remarkably successful and the Śakas, who were ruling over this territory for more than 300 years, were completely and for ever wiped out from the political map of India. The rich provinces of Mālwa, Gujarat and Kathiawar were annexed to the Gupta empire and they opened a new avenue for direct maritime trade with the West.
