Aoka, Kalinga and Buddhism-Arun Kumar Upadhyay

1. Nature and aim of British forgery-British forgery in Indian history was

multifaceted and well declared, but is still considered authentic by Indians who
refuse to leave mental slavery. There was a lot of false propaganda about history
and its science, in which stories of Aoka, Kalinga and Buddhism are most
important. Main falsehoods are(1) Indians did not write history.-Actually, whatever history is written is totally
from Indian literature though its major part was destroyed in 1000 years foreign
rule.
(2) Indian did not give dates-Actually, Indians only have given dates. Date can be
given only with reference to a calendar system. Even the time of Alexanders
Attack had to be ascertained from Persian records, as Greece did not have any
calendar at that time. Megasthenes has written that the first Greek attack was by
Dionysus, 6451 years 3 months before Alexander in 154 generations of Indian
kings. This count of generations or running calendar did not exist in any other
country and this was based solely on Indian records.
(3) All Greek historians-Herodotus, Megasthenes, Solinu, Arrian, Pliny, Curtius
have written that (a) India is only country where all persons are indigenous, (b)
India had not attacked any country since last 15000 years as it was self sufficient
in food. After Maxmuller copied 15000 years and reduced it 10 times to make
1500 BC as start of Indian Vedic civilization, this number was omitted from later
editions. (c) There was continuous govt at least since 6777 BC when first Greek
attack had occurred. (d) Reference to India meant that Greek attack was solely
for looting-but it was shown to have given knowledge of science to India.
(4) All research was centered to destroy Indian records and praise in even
western records to show that Britishers were just other foreigners like Indians
themselves and had come for civilizing this country-not for looting. For that,
excavation was made only in Indus valley and without bothering to know the
meaning, arbitrary conclusions of date, migration of Aryanas were made. Till
today, westerns and even nationalists are obsessed with Indus civilization.
Nationalism has changed the word to Sarasvati-but we have stopped looking at
our own language and records.
(5) There is no inscription seen anywhere in world which has given sequence and
chronology of kings. These are found systematically in puras only. After
copying succession of kings from that, names of major kings who started
calendars have been dropped and such kings have been made great who are
nowhere mentioned in any literature or do not have any effect now. All Sanskrit
students/teachers read works of Klidsa under Vikramditya (Samvat in 57 BC)
of Ujjain, draka (aka in 756 BC) and rhara (aka in 456 BC) -but after
lifelong reading tell that there is no record about these kings as their calendars
are still in use.
(6) There is only one chapter on Maurya Aoka in Divyvadna, not a single line
about any so-called great Gupta kings-but these are considered great. Samvat of
Vikramditya is still standard for deciding all festivals of India-not the so called
Rrya-aka-samvat started as copy of Roman calendar and there is10000
pages of literature on him-but that is not reference, as it can indicate correct
time.
(7) Dhauli inscription of Aoka is only about welfare and administration-it does
not mention Kalinga war or anything about Buddha. But there were 10 million
murders in north India as retaliation of 1857 revolt and further 3.5 million
starvation murders in Orissa by Ravenshaw in 1865 when there was surplus
production of rice. So, Vincent Smith created false story in 1893 (Ashok the
Great) that hindus also were blood-thirsty and had killed /injured 10.5 lakhs in
Kalinga war. Ashamed of being murderous hindu, Aoka was converted to

Buddhism. Romila Thapar (Asoka and the Decline of the Maurya) went a step
ahead and described about downfall of India due to pacifist policy of Aoka. All
these are totally false, baseless and unimaginable.
2. Time of Aoka-It was not something unknown and is written accurately in all
puras. Actually, there is no calendar in Europe prior to Julian calendar which
can record his date. Carbon dating can indicate the date of any object with at
least an error of 300 years for that period and even then a written record is
needed to know that it was of time of Aoka or Gupta period. All Indian calendar
calculations start with Kali era beginning from 17-2-3102 BC, Wednesday, Ujjain
midnight and even rough calculation by Vkyakaraa (charts memorized by
sentences) has error of less than 15 minutes. Any calculation by calendar
software of NASA will have error of up to 68 hours for 3100 BC. After 10 models
of correction, error can be reduced to about 25 hours.
There are 2 Aokas one a Maurya king of Magadha and another a Gonanda king
of Kashmir about same time. All puras give list of Kaliyuga kings of Magadha
e.g. Bhgavata pura, skandha 11). They are1.Brhadratha vama-Started with Sompi, son of Sahadeva killed in
Mahbhrata war.
(1) Sompi (Mrjri)-(3138-3080 BC), (2) rutarav (3080-3016 BC), (3)

8th year of Ajtaatrus rule in 1806 BC. Udyi in 4 year of his rule established
Paliputra on confluence of Son and Gang (Vyu pura 119/318).

all puras as a landmark of history. He won most of India by exterminating all
katriya kings like second Paraurma. (Viu pura 4/24/104, Bhgavata
pura 12/1/10). He ruled for 88 years followed by 8 sons for 12 years (Matsya

5. Maurya vama-Kauilya Chakya destyoed and made Chandragupta as
king. His family belonged to Mur town (in Sambalpur of Orissa, now submerged
in Hirakud reservoir) which was center of iron ore called mura (murrum). So the

family was called Maurya. 12 Maurya kings ruled for a total of 316 years

suffering under attack from west Asia. He repaired Prch canal in 5th year of his
rule (Prch inscription) which was 803 (Tri-vasu-ata ) years after coronation of
Nanda (1634 BC), thus his rule started in 1634-(803-4) = 835 BC. (5) r

king and kept his infant son as namesake king. His father Ghaotkacha-Gupta
was commander to 2 kings-(30) Vijayar and (31) Chandrar.
Finally,
Chandragupta killed the son also and became the king himself.
9. Gupta-Vama-They have been called ndhra-bhtya also, as they were
serving as commander under them (Matsya pura 273/17). Their place is called
r-Parvata which should be r-ailam of Andhra Pradesh as the kings were from
that area, not of Nepal as surmised. At start of this rule, Alexander attacked India
in 326 BC. His historians have mentioned last kings of ndhra and first 2 kings of
Gupta clan as well as strength of army of ndhra kings. Names as mentioned by
Megasthenes are-Ghaotkacha (Ghaa = head, Utkacha = remover of hairs) barber,

Chandrar. (Chandra-Bja)Agrammas (Xandrammas)-31st. ndhra king

Chandragupta-1-Sandrocottus, Samudragupta-Sandrocryptus,
Chandragupta-2 was famous as conqueror or Amitrocchedas (= wiping out
enemies)-Amitrochades.
Gupta kings adopted titles of earlier great kings of Maurya period-Chandragupta1-Vijayditya. Samudragupta-Aokditya, Chandragupta-2-Vikramditya. This
was only a title. Famous Paramra king of Ujjain of this name was later on.
rgupta was father of Ghaotkacha or himself named as such due to bald
head. His son Chandragupta-1 (327-320 BC) became first independent king. His
first son Kacha (320 BC) was removed shortly due to his cowardice and
Samudragupta (Aokditya (320-269 BC) took over. His elder son Rmagupta
offered his wfe to aka invader, so his wife married younger brother
Chandragupta-2 (Vikramditya) who killed invader and ruled in (269-233 BC). His
son Kumragupta-1 (233-191 BC) and then Skandagupta (191-175 BC) ruled. He
died Issueless. His brother Puragupta ruled as guardian of Budhagupta followed
byVainyagupta (175-174 BC), Kumragupta-2 (174-172 BC), Budhagupta (172166 BC) of same generation. Then Narasimhagupta (Blditya-1)- (166-126 BC)
maintained some prestige and it declined with Kumragupta-3 (126-85 BC),
ending with Viugupta (85-82 BC).
4. Deliberate falsehoods-William Jones as Judge supervised brutal torture
and killing of 10 million Indians in 1770 (called Bengal famine) for revenue
collection was also the pioneer in distortion and fabrication of Indian History.
Tortures and murders have been classified by Bankim Chandra in his book
Ananda-matha and can be seen in British reports alsohttp://www.cambridgeforecast.org/MIDDLEEAST/BENGAL.html
http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Bengal_famine_of_1770/id/1930405
http://www.worldhistoryblog.com/2006/04/famine-of-1770-in-bengal.html
Summary of distortions is quoted fromhttp://www.encyclopediaofauthentichinduism.org/index.html
Sir William Jones, 1784 (from Asiatic Researches Vol. 1. Published 1979,
pages 234-235. First published 1788).
As to the general extension of our pure faith in Hindustan there are at present
many sad obstacles to it We may assure ourselves, that Hindus will never be
converted by any mission from the church of Rome, or from any other church;
and the only human mode, perhaps, of causing so great a revolution, will be to
translate into Sanscrit such chapters of the Prophets, particularly of ISAIAH, as
are indisputably evangelical, together with one of the gospels, and a plain
prefatory discourse, containing full evidence of the very distant ages, in which
the predictions themselves, and the history of the Divine Person (Jesus)
predicted, were severally made public; and then quietly to disperse the work
among the well-educated natives.
By the first act they wanted to degrade the Hindu religion by all means and
to show that the Hindu religion is no better than the religion of Greeks and
ancient Romans. They also wanted to prove their imagined greatness of
Christianity so that they could impose their superiority upon us.
By the second act they wanted to prove that they also had equal rights to
live in India like the Hindus as both have come from outside.
If we look to their doings, during the period they ruled India, with this angle
of view, everything becomes crystal clear.
A brief review of how was it executed.
1784 In January 1784, the Asiatic Society of Bengal was established in
Calcutta under the patronage of Warren Hastings and Sir William Jones was
appointed its President. Its main purpose was to find ways of how to accomplish

their secret aims mentioned above. Its literary works were published in the name
of Asiatic Researches.
1784 Towards the end of 1784 Jones produced his first essay (described
above) which was the first most important work of the Asiatic Researches.
1786 On 2nd February 1786, Jones, in his Presidential speech, produced his
new fabricated theory of some unknown protolanguage that was designed to
disprove the authenticity and the first originality of the Sanskrit language, and to
create a ground for fabricating another theory of Aryan invasion.
1793 Jones in his 10th Presidential speech discredits our entire history as
described in the Puranas and places Chandragupt Maurya as the contemporary
of Alexander by falsely telling that he was no other than Sandracottus of 312 BC.
1816 Jones died in 1794 but in 8 years he could not produce the full thesis
of his created theory of some unknown protolanguage. Another co-worker of the
Asiatic Researches group of people, Franz Bopp (see pp.180-181) worked hard
for his whole life and then produced his first work in 1816 and the detailed work
around 1852 to substantiate the ideology of Proto-Indo-European language which
Jones had created.
1828 All the articles of the Asiatic Researches including the writings of its
secretary Mr. Wilson (1828) were purposely designed to be extremely derogatory
and produced falsified descriptions of Hindu religion and history.
1828 In 1828 an atheistic society, contemplating the personality of God,
called the Brahmo Samaj, was formed in Calcutta. Its founder and co-worker
received great appreciation by the British and were heartily welcomed in
England and were praised by Max Mller and other writers of that group.
1847 Max Mller was appointed by the East India Company to wrongly
translate the theme of the Vedas and construct a wrong history of India. He was
highly paid for this job. (Max Mllers letters themselves reveal this secret.)
1866 In 1866, a professor of Calcutta Sanskrit College, Pandit Taranath,
was given a lot of money on a contract basis to compile the largest Sanskrit
dictionary and to wrongly interpret certain Vedic words to suit the derogatory
theory which the British had fabricated against the Vedic religion.
1922 F.E. Pargiter, retired I.C.S. (Indian Civil Service) Calcutta, was appointed
to write the wrong history of India. All the history writers of that period (like
Smith, Keith etc.) were also assigned to write the wrong history of India,
squeezing it into the frame of their fictitious story of Aryans coming to
India.
F. E. Pargiter (1852-1927).I.C.S. (Indian Civil Service), High Court Judge, Calcutta.
Retired 1906, Vice President of the Asiatic Society, London.
Pargiter writes that:
Ancient Indian Historical Tradition.

The whole of the Sanskrit literature has no historical works. (Chapter 1,

page 2)

Aryans established themselves in India through long warfare. (1/3)

Vedic literature does not give any information who compiled them No
trust can be placed in the Vedic literature as regards any matter which the
brahmans found. (1/9,10)

The original brahmans were not so much priests they were wizards
(26/308)

These statements of yugas and manvantar are generally worthless for

chronological purposes. (15/178)

Chandragupt began to reign in or about 322 BC. He was preceded by the

Nine Nandas The reign of Nandas would be 80 years. (15/179)

From the Bharat battle to the Mahapadm (Nand) there were 37 Magadh
kings the total of all of their reigns (according to Puran) is (940 + 138 +
330) = 1,408 years. These figures cannot be relied upon. (These figures
according to the Bhagwatam are 1,000 + 138 + 360 = 1,498 years.)

The reign of Mahapadm (Nand) began in 402 BC (322 + 80) by

overthrowing the last king of Shishunag dynasty.

From the 7th king of Brihadrath dynasty and up to the last king of
Shishunag dynasty, the reigning period was 448 years; and from the 1st to
6th king of Brihadrath dynasty (the first dynasty after Mahabharat war), the
reigning period was 100 years.

Thus (402 + 448 + 100) 950 BC is the date of Mahabharat battle. (15/179
to 182)

The Purana Text of the Dynasties of the Kali Age.

The Puranas were originally in prakrit (local) language. What we have now
is the Sanskritized version of older prakrit shlokas.

The Bhavishya Puran existed in the 3rd century AD and Matsya Puran
borrowed what the Bhavishya contained before the Gupt era (320 AD). Then
Vayu, Brahmand and Vishnu Puran were compiled accordingly.

The brahmans fabricated the passages, and the later readers of the
Puranas further fabricated the details of the text.

The brahmans converted prakrit words of the Puranas into Sanskrit and
substituted future tense for past tenses and altered them to the form of a
prophecy uttered by Ved Vyas. (Intro/10 to 27)
Thus, it is evident that the writings of F. E. Pargiter were also the
exploitations of British diplomacy.
5. False quoting of Greeks-Megasthenes had come at start of Gupta period
which was known to Vincent Smith (Early History of India, page 206) and R.C.
Mazumdar (Ancient India, page 138) also who have quoted him to give strength
of army of Andhra kings. This is possible only when he had come in period of
Gupta who were Andhra-bhritya (i.e. servants of Andhra kings at capital Patna).
In Period of Ashoka, his 13th pillar inscription is clear that Andhra was a
subordinate state. In all web-sites of Andhra Pradesh, it is quoted for glory of
Andhra, but for general history, they all revert back to Megasthenes in Maurya
period. Sri Mazumdar omitted this reference in his later 3 volume book in
collaboration with K.K. Dutta and H.C. Raychaudhuri. For this obedience to
Oxford by telling falsehood, he was made general editor of 12 volume history by
Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan. Some links(1) www.bihar.cc/index.php?article=an-article-on-patna
9k- Sri R,C. Mazumdar in his ancient India (page 138) has written that Pliny has
quoted Megasthenese for giving strength of Army of Andhra kings. ...

foreign king:
(38.) It is said that India, being of enormous size when taken as
a whole, is peopled by races both numerous and diverse, of which not even one
was originally of foreign descent, but all were evidently indigenous; and
moreover that India neither received a colony from abroad, nor sent out a colony
to any other nation.

For the Indians stand almost alone among the nations in never having
migrated from their own country. From the days of Father Bacchus to Alexander
the Great, their kings are reckoned at 154, whose reigns extend over 6451 years
and 3 months.
Solin. 52. 5.-- Father Bacchus was the first who invaded India, and was the first of
all who triumphed over the vanquished Indians. From him to Alexander the Great
6451 years are reckoned with 3 months additional, the calculation being made
by counting the, kings who reigned in the intermediate period, to the number of
153.

From Dionysus to Sandracottus the Indians reckoned 153 kings, and 6,042 years.
During all these years they only twice asserted their freedom; the first time they
enjoyed it for 300 years, and the second for 120. They say that Dionysus was
earlier than Heracles by fifteen generations, and that no other ever invaded India
for war, not even Cyrus, the son of Cambyses, though he marched against the
Scythians, and in other matters was the most meddlesome of the kings of Asia.
However they admit that Alexander came and overcame in battle all the nations
whom he visited, and that he would have conquered them all if his army had
been willing. But none of the Indians ever marched out of their own country for
war, being actuated by a respect for justice.
6. Kalinga war and Buddha-There was another Aoka in Gonanda-vama
(43rd king) in (1448-1400 BC) who had become Bauddha due to which Bauddhas
from central Asia destroyed the kingdom. After that his son Jalauka (14001344BC) chased away bauddhas and re-established Chturvarya (Vedic path).
The place where bauddhas and their west Asian associates were routed was
called Ujjhaamba (= uprooting the seed).

Many of the inscriptions in name of Aoka are by him. No inscription including
one at Dhauli mentions that had become Buddhist.
Inscription at Kalsi near Dehradun gives names of 4 kings who were won by
Aoka-Tulamaya, Antikina, Maka, Allikasudala. One of them must be the king of
Kalinga, won in 8th year of his rule. That is Alekha-sundara of Kalinga. Alakha
name is all over India, but Alekha is only in Orissa because lokapla of east was
Indra who was called Lekharabha for starting Deva-ngar script (Mrkaeya
pura chapter 103, Taittirya samhit 6/4/7, Maitrya samhit, 4/5/8). He
cannot be equated with any king of Alexandria, as it was never a part of India or
under Aoka. The town itself did not exist in 1450 BC.
Only mention of Aoka is in Bauddha text Divyvadna (chapter Aokvadna)
that Aoka was a good Bauddha because he had killed 12,000 Jaina monks on
victory over Kalinga. This is too high a figure for a normal war. There is no basis
of figure of 1,50,000 killed, 350,000 injured and 550, 000 arrested. This exceeds
the population of the then Kalinga and more than current strength of Indian
army. Alexander Army was only 120,000 with 20,000 horses, which was afraid of
Magadha army of 600,000. Only possibility may be that Jainas might be powerful
in Kalinga administration which was lost after war. This falsehood was created by
Vincent Smith in 1893 to counter 35 lakh murders by Ravenshaw who has
become father figure of Oriya nationalism in tradition of British slavery. Another
fallacy is spread that Magadha empire was destroyed due to adoption of nonviolence by Aoka. Actually, non-violence is feature of Yoga-stra and more
stressed in Jainism. Rather, Bauddha themselves including Siddhrtha Buddha
himself were strongly opposed to vegetarian food even for Bhikus. It is
surprising as to how Buddha was moved by sacrifice of animals in yaja, which is
for food, not for God. He expelled Devadatta for recommending vegetarian food
for Bhikus (extract from link below). Due to excess meat eating, Siddhrtha
Buddha was operated by Jvaka who strongly prohibited further meat eating. But
he took it when a disciple offered it at Sarnath and he expired (Buddha-Charita of
Avaghoa)
http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhism/lifebuddha/2_5lbud.htm
Devadatta requested the Buddha to make it compulsory for monks to follow five
extra rules:
(i) Dwell all their lives in the forest
(ii) Live only on alms obtained by begging
(iii) Wear robes made from rags collected from the dust heaps and cemeteries
(iv) Live at the foot of trees
(v) Refrain from eating fish or meat throughout their lives.
Maurya kings were never against Brhmas, minister of Last king Puyamitra
was himself a Brhmaa who killed king and became king himself.
7. An Example of Pura forgery-Long passages have been changed in
matter of reignal years and times. All verses of Viu pura have become prose
due to such removal, only list of kings remains-

In Brahma pura, some kings have been excluded and periods have been
reduced to match Pargiters chronology , () ,

The years of each king has been reduced suitably by Pargiter to match his
reduced chronology. E.g. Maurya from 316 years to 137 years and number of
kings reduced from 12 to 9 (verse 149) He did not understand or cared for
saptari era and missed the total number of years given later- Verse 227 tells

1500 (1504) years from Parkita to Mahpadmananda. This number has been
reduced to 1050 which is obviously false as Brhadratha vama itself ruled for
1000 (1006) years followed by Pradyotas for 138 and iunga for 360 before
Nanda as given in details. It also indicates that a cycle of Saptari years of 2700
years was completed from Parkita to end last part of ndhra kings (3042 BC2700 = 342 BC) after which Gupta rule started in 327 BC. Pargiter and William
Jones missed Kaliyuga Rja Vttnta-a subsidiary of Bhavishya pura. That has
given complete chronology.
Similar manipulation was done in Matsya pura whose original version tallies
with that. Original copies available with Narayana Sastry were destroyed later
on.
T.S. Narayana Sastry writes:- "Fortunately in my library (T.S.Narayana Sastry's
Library), I possess a manuscript copy of Matsya Purana in Grantha Character,
which gives a complete list of the Maurya kings with years of individual reigns
and I give the same below:







This version of Matsya purana tolerably agrees with that given in the manuscript
copy of the Kaliyuga Raja Vrittanta, in my library which also I add below for easy
reference
