Question : Which script was used in Ashoka's inscriptions?
Option 1: Brahmi
Option 2: Devanagari
Option 3: Gurmukhi
Option 4: Sanskrit
Correct Answer: Brahmi
Solution : The correct answer is Brahmi.
There are three types of Ashokan inscriptions: major rock edicts, minor rock edicts, and pillar edicts. There were different scripts (Brahmi and Kharosthi) and different languages (Prakriti, Greek, and Aramaic). Brahmi was the most widely used script. According to some historians, Ashoka's prohibition on sacrifices and his support for Buddhism provoked a Brahmanical response that ultimately contributed to the fall of the Mauryan empire.
