Yes, a large portion of Indian history remains hazy due to manipulation on the part of those in power after Independence. Our history textbooks cover the Mughal Empire, British colonialism, and Freedom Movements in great detail. We don't know much about our powerful Empires. Everything written about Ashoka in our history books is a lie. When you contrast the traditional account of King Ashoka with the inscription found on Dhauli Hill near Bhubaneswar, it offers a completely different viewpoint.

In actuality, Ashoka was a Buddhist prior to his invasion of Kalinga. He adopted Buddhism for political reasons, of course. Ashoka's sole goal was to spread B...
