BOOK - MODERN HISTORY OF INDIA

Mauryan Empire Part-1

An empire that has a lot to hear about, but nothing to see. The Morya dynasty may be called the first dynasty of India. Because the real history of India comes from the Morya dynasty. We do not have any information about what happened in India before the Mauryan dynasty. We have to rely on foreign writers. Such as Herodotus, the father of history. The book of Herodotus describes the invasion of India by Iran.
So let's talk about Moryavansh, where did the information about Moryavansh coming from in India come from? Or what is the proof of Moryavansh on India? The answer to this question is to look at the source of information of the Moryavansh. Sources of information can be found in the palaces of the Morya dynasty, literature, stories, plays, relics found by the Archaeological Department, etc.
If we look at the architecture of the Moryavansh, the inscriptions, inscriptions, column inscriptions, stupas and caves of Barobar built by Ashoka can only be seen at present. Morya-era palaces are not seen at present, due to the fact that these palaces were made of wood which was destroyed over time. The Iranian invasion of India led to the introduction of Iranian architecture in India and the Moryavans were influenced by this style. So that the architecture of the Morya dynasty is the most Iranian-style.
