You have Forgotten Him . Ah...!!

Delhi : 02.12.2020 At 11:54AM

An english man who did let you know ancient india and it's glory - you have forgotten him. Haven't you ?

I have met many fellow indians and asked them about King Ashoka . They, in reply, told me about Maurya empire , Budhisms , rock edict and Ashoka's achievement - everything in one go . As I asked - do you know about James Princep, their ans. Came

With "No".

It is known to me that in india there was an ancient practice"Shruti"( being learned by listening something ) but it was not known to me that in 21st century too has its impact across .

I won't write something which is told by indians about Ashoka but would like to tribute the greatest English man James Princep who deciphered edicts and made Brahmi scripts vivid and so people of india could learn about a king and his vast kingdom .

James Princep was an assayer who came in india 15 September 1819 and worked at Asiatic society of Bengal . Very soon he was sent to Benares Mint and there he studied antiquities and made several experiments . He was an Orientalist with many interests in I.e Numismatics, Metallurgy and Meteorology .

He started observing ancients coins of india in the city . Very soon when visited delhi he found same scripts on the pillars and in Allahabad visits too . Same description he found on the rock . He started decoding and finally came up with result when fount this rock with two letters that depicted scripts is Bramhi scripts .

Here is the name which was written on the rock. - Danam . When srilanka came to know about this they communicated to Princept about Pali scripts and extensive studied brought two name in the light - "DevamPriya Piyadasi . Deciphering Brahmhi scripts made everything clear that the rocks , pillars belonged to Mauraya emperor . This way Kharoshthi scripts too deciphered by James Princep and name came up "Ashoka ". He made a collective journal and translated into english and gave It to india .

Above is deciphered image by James princep , on that basis Ashoka regained it's identity in india . Who ever try to praise British and their contribution in india now ? All are busy in Hindu rastra and dialogue .

We indian must be thankful to Britisher who established a society of antiquarian in 16th century and so from there journey started to know about past and it's dynasties . Don't be surprised that Indian glory is discovered by The west . This is as true as sun rises in the east . There were several antiquarian society in the West but not in the east . British came and tortured us but gave us everything which we were not able to know . Thank him and remember him . They have gifted you your past to cherish , to speak , to maintain .

Above is Princep Ghat in calcutta in a memory of James Princep . He died at the age of 41 but in very short time digged out very precious thing in India so that 19th century onwards indian started knowing about Ashoka and Magadh .
