About the Book

Brahmi is probably the ancient script known to India, majorly seen during 4th - 3rd century BCE, during the reign of Asoka the great. Although the oldest pictorial writing system known to us is the Indus Valley Hieroglyphs, they cannot be considered as a true script. Recent archaeological excavations in Tamil Nadu have also indicated that Brahmi had a long history before king Devanampiyadasi Asoka.
