Author: Subhodeep Mukhopadhyay

Subhodeep Mukhopadhyay is an Indian author, columnist, editor, and researcher working across civilizational studies, history, media, education, and technology. He serves as a senior research fellow and trustee of Infinity Foundation India, where his interests include Indian history and indigenous knowledge frameworks. Ashoka the Ungreat revisits the familiar image of the Mauryan emperor and challenges the assumptions and later narratives that produced it. A revised edition was published by nTropi in 2025. For Mukhopadhyay, it is a study of historical interpretation, public memory, and political mythmaking rather than a conventional life of Ashoka. His wider publications range from Indian philosophy and historiography to artificial intelligence and education, placing the book within an interdisciplinary project concerned with how evidence and inherited narratives shape public knowledge.
