confusion

The first part of answer-I dont know...probably it may have happened...as a new dynasty always has the tendency to erase the memories and work of old dynasties. About second part to your question...Ashoka died at the age of 72 and he married Mahadevi at the age of 18 who was 16 herself. So you can see an age gap of 2 years. And its believed that she dies in her 60's...Considering that she died at the age of 69, Ashoka would have died at the age of 71(max) ...I highly doubt that he died on the same day when Devi died.


According to wiki, Devi died in 242BC and Ashoka died in 232 BC

Thnx for the info 😊

Nd if the first part is really true then i feel very bad for devi who didn't got her due recognition

And now a stupid production house has brutally butchered her character

Ha adhya even I heard about first one, there s a high possibility the latter mauryans might have destroyed regarding devi and her children, I even asked about this to a professor he said there s a possibility as the latter mauryans r nt exactly Buddhism favorites, nt just this I heard they destroyed so many that related to devi and her children.

How much ever they destroyed devi, mahendra, sanghamitra marked their own name in history

History s one highly distorted one, with generations passing history has become more distorted and confusing, none knows what exactly happened,still people debate on being devi, adandhimitra r Same r not, that's how our histories r😆

Lol i fully agree with you

History is really confusing but engaging all at the same time

We read diff books and then wonder if this how it was or was it diff??

Nd yes no matter how hard anybody tried mahendra and sanghamitra are still ashok most well known children

Devi , mahendra and sanghamitra all are famous in history

Speciall mahendra whose arrival is still celebrated ad a festival there

Also , i think these edicts and pillars buily by ashok are probable the ones which are left

May be there were other monuments

May be even ashandhimitra wad mentioned by ashok

Who knows?

We can only read nd imagine nd then again read

Everytime something new pops out

History is like an ocean who depth can never be fathomed

Umm i think i became a bit too philosophical

Sorry if i bored you

Philosophy s another interesting one, History s indeed a ocean v can't really measure the depth, v lost so many precious monuments,books because of turks, mughals, bahmanis, afghans, britishers so many , so many attacked our india when leaving they not only took our treasures they even stole our precious books that is knowledge, our ancient Bharat s known for richness and knowledge

Don't worry I worked as lecturer for sometime so philosophy, reading, books doesn't bore me at all
