Brief description of the event: The Department of History organised a peer lecture entitled ‘Ashokan Edicts: Early Forms of Mass Communication in Ancient India’ on May 17, 2025. It was conducted in room 547 from 2:30 pm to 4 pm. The lectured enquired into one of the edicts (both pillar and rock) as earliest forms of communication in ancient India.
