Ashoka the Ungreat By Subhodeep Mukhopadhyay free PDF book download from our site. “Ashoka the Ungreat” by Subhodeep Mukhopadhyay is a non-fiction work that offers a fresh and critical perspective on Ashoka Maurya, a renowned figure in Indian history. The book scrutinizes Ashokan rock edicts, Buddhist sources such as Ashokavadana and Mahavamsa, and the latest research in Ashoka and Buddhist studies.
The narrative challenges the widely accepted portrayal of Ashoka Maurya as a great king who, after the brutal Kalinga War, renounced Hinduism, abandoned warfare, adopted Buddhism, and became a humanitarian. Mukhopadhyay argues that many of these commonly held beliefs about Ashoka are fabrications.
