How did India forget one of its greatest emperors for nearly 1500 years?
This Alif Laila episode traces the incredible story of Emperor Ashoka, the mysterious pillars and inscriptions he left across the Indian subcontinent, and the ancient Brahmi script that nobody could read for centuries. From Firoz Shah Tughlaq mistaking Ashoka's pillar for “Bhima's Stick” to James Prinsep finally deciphering Brahmi, and from the Kalinga War to Ashoka's transformation, this is the fascinating story of how a forgotten emperor was rediscovered through his own words carved in stone.
