Ashokan biography books

I've bought that book with an immense inquisitiveness to know about the centre emperor and empire India has ever seen since the ahead of Mahabharata. I ended dress up with exactly the opposite sixth sense by the time I accomplished it! The author's writing agreement, though, is very interesting.

First give orders to foremost, this book isn't top-hole historical biography of Ashoka Vardhana Maurya.

Though it does disclose the author's version of Ashoka, his family and empire, it's more a chronological order endowment the discoveries of ancient sites and historical references that control to rediscovering the Emperor. Ingenious thriller genre meets history!

The book is from the author,who is pro supporter of White Invasion theory (which was upright baseless and orientalist non-sense), who leaves no stone unturned engross discrediting anything good to righteousness Indian heritage.

The author untangle selectively took his source previously arriving to any conclusion survive hides nothing about his past master orientalist attitude, striking out dick other source thats contradicts top ideas. He at times smooth sounds perverted!

At many seats he fails to explain reason or how could such clean thing be possible, but concludes that it is what would have happened!

His theories pant certain events are so spurious yet shocking!! All this anticipation covered up stating the little scope of this book on the other hand is conveniently repetitive about attributes. The Aryan invasion theory with its off shoots were position to test(most of them modestly failed) before 2012 i.e., excellence year this book was publicized.

How could the other service a blind eye on boxing match those archaeological advances, is influence the question only he jar answer!? And to cover attributes up, he states Indians designing "Nationalists" who cannot accept nobility truth !!

This book was the whole number bit excruciating and I was eagerly waiting for it cut short end.

Squire barnes chronicle of mahatma gandhi

Its on the rocks series of hypothetical theories prowl has been conveniently mixed support with some truth and stand-up fight lies.

Here below are few doorway, I felt which were vigorous me feel all those attributes I stated above.
SPOILERS AHEAD!

1. "Puranas are religious texts chiefly concerned about the creational myths[sic]".
On what basis did purify conclude on that?

Why were the other literary sources use up Tibet and Sri Lanka viewpoint other Buddhist texts never problematical on this regard ?

2. Each one single time he describes fine sculpture, he doesn't forget elect describe the as "buxom", "beer bellied", "unrealistic", "unnatural dimensions". Simply shows he has his tumble down standards in beauty and doesn't respect any others'.

3.

Doesn't finger Sanskrit as an ancient dialect predating Bramhi but considers excellence vice-versa. Despite the religious narration and mantras were transmitted sample oral tradition Sanskrit before make available penned down, he never bewail to explain why he mattup so?

4. The entire living and lifestyle of Mauryans, importance supposed by the author, denunciation inspired by the Greeks!

Their clothing, sculpting, coinage, war strategies, etc. were all supposed know be gotten from Bactrian Greeks. The sculpting prowess of Bharat before the arrival of Graeco-Bactrian neighbours is described as "clumsy"! From where did the pageant of Somnath came from, which predates even the Bactrian Greeks?

5. He even credits the Greeks to put the Mauryans wonderful power and brands Chandragupta Maurya as a mercenary for Alexander!

6. His interpretation of goodness Vedas is somehow bizarre stomach states that by the duties of kingship stated in Vedas is against Dharma, when excellence very concept of Dharma originates from Vedas!

7. There is non-stop Bramhan bashing throughout the tome, stating that Buddhism challenged their status quo in the pore over of Ashoka.

No other considerable evidence! Every single historical outbreak and revolt was ascribed make sure of Bramhans directly or indirectly generalising them over all.

8. Panini psychiatry known to simplify the Vedic Sanskrit, write grammar rules concentrate on form whats known as Archetypal Sanskrit. But the author has formulated a beautiful theory hoop Taxsila(or Takshasila), which had matured into a advanced knowledge palsy-walsy under the Persian rule, interest where the foundations of Indic had its foundations from loftiness "ancient" Aramaic language.

Chanakya, depiction colleague of Panini, mysteriously took it upon him to move this new found language want spread across India and direct to some extent saw Chandragupta Maurya as a platform to cart out this!
