The Mauryan period saw the development of which script for inscriptions?
मौर्य काल में शिलालेखों के लिए किस लिपि का विकास हुआ था?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Brahmi / ब्राह्मी
Explanation / व्याख्या:
During the Mauryan period, especially under Ashoka, inscriptions were mainly written in the Brahmi script. It is considered one of the oldest scripts of India and was widely used across the empire.
- Kharosthi script was also used, but mainly in the north-western regions.
- Pali is a language, not a script.
- Grantha script developed later in South India.
मौर्य काल में, विशेषकर अशोक के समय, शिलालेख मुख्य रूप से ब्राह्मी लिपि में लिखे जाते थे। यह भारत की सबसे प्राचीन लिपियों में से एक है और पूरे साम्राज्य में व्यापक रूप से प्रयोग की जाती थी।
- खरोष्ठी लिपि का प्रयोग भी हुआ, लेकिन यह मुख्यतः उत्तर-पश्चिम क्षेत्र में सीमित थी।
- पाली एक भाषा है, लिपि नहीं।
- ग्रन्थ लिपि का विकास बाद में दक्षिण भारत में हुआ।
Extra Fact / अतिरिक्त तथ्य:
- Most of Ashoka’s edicts are written in Brahmi script, which later evolved into many modern Indian scripts.
- अशोक के अधिकांश शिलालेख ब्राह्मी लिपि में हैं, जिससे बाद में कई आधुनिक भारतीय लिपियाँ विकसित हुईं।
