Question

According to the Ashokan Inscription which of the following was NOT a provincial centre in Mauryan Empire?

A.

Indraprastha

B.

Taxila

C.

Tosali

D.

Ujjayini

Correct option is A

The answer is (a) Indraprastha
The four provincial centres of the Mauryan Empire, as mentioned in the Ashokan Inscriptions, are:
· Taxila (in the north)
· Ujjayini (in the west)
· Suvarnagiri (in the south)
· Tosali (in the east)
Indraprastha is an ancient city located in present-day Delhi, India. It is famous for being the capital of the Pandavas, the heroes of the Indian epic, Mahabharata. However, there is no evidence to suggest that it was a provincial center during the Mauryan Empire, and it is not mentioned in the Ashokan Inscriptions as such.
