General knowledge

The Harappan (Indus Valley) script has not yet been deciphered; James Prinsep deciphered the Brahmi script in 1837, which allowed Ashoka's edicts to be read.

अक्सर पूछा जाता है: हड़प्पा (सिंधु घाटी) लिपि अभी तक पढ़ी नहीं जा सकी; James Prinsep ने 1837 में ब्राह्मी लिपि पढ़ी, जिससे अशोक के अभिलेख पढ़े जा सके।
