About this book

Subhodeep Mukhopadhyay questions the familiar presentation of Ashoka in Indian school history, beginning with textbook accounts of his rule and religious ideas. The book challenges the assumptions the author believes those accounts encourage about ancient society and later historical developments. Its opening frames an argument about historical reputation, education and the relationship between interpretations of the past and the judgments taught to children.
