Ashoka’s Identity: For a long time, Emperor Ashoka’s history was based on Buddhist texts, with no concrete proof.
In the 14th century, a pillar believed to be ‘Bhim’s staff’ was brought to Delhi during Feroz Shah Tughlaq’s reign. In the 20th century, this was identified as an Ashoka pillar.
James Prinsep’s Discovery: In the 19th century, James Prinsep deciphered ancient Brahmi script, finding the names ‘Devanampriya’ and ‘Piyadassi’ on numerous pillars and rock edicts.
Sri Lankan Connection: A Sri Lankan Buddhist text, ‘Dipavamsa,’ helped Prinsep link ‘Piyadassi’ to Ashoka of the Maurya dynasty, but it was still just a theory.
Maski Inscription: In 1915, an engineer named C. Beadon, while exploring the Hatti Gold Mines in Karnataka, found a rock edict.
The Final Link: This edict was the first to explicitly use the phrase ‘Devanampiyas Asokas’ (Devanampriya Ashoka), finally confirming that the names ‘Devanampriya’ and ‘Piyadassi’ belonged to Emperor Ashoka.

यह बात आज के युवाओं को पसंद आनी चाहिए। उनको यह पता हो कि वो जमाने में भारत क्या था? और यह प्रश्न भी करना चाहिए कि इस इतिहास को क्यों छिपाया गया।
