A Review of Sources of Mauryan History

Abstract

The History of India starts with the Indus Valley Civilization and the happening to the Aryans. These two stages are for the most part portrayed as the pre-Vedic and Vedic periods. The most punctual scholarly source that reveals insight into India’s past is the Rig Veda. It is hard to date this work with any exactness based on custom and equivocal cosmic data contained in the psalms. It is in all probability that Rig Veda was formed between 1,500 B.C. what’s more, 1,000 B.C. In the fifth century, vast parts of India were joined under Ashoka.
