Ajay Devgan In Santoshi's Ashoka
2007-07-30 19:27:00 Shahrukh Khan’s as Asoka really didn’t work and quite honestly the script left a lot to be desired.

It starts with the Kalinga war and continues to travel through the fascinating and exciting journey of Ashoka’s life, when from Chanda Ashoka he became Dharma Ashoka. It’s a rare and unique storyline.”Santoshi claims that his film will work even in today’s modern world. “Of course it will.

Myth of Antiquity of tamil Languge. Sangam age king Atiyaman
2007-06-05 09:10:00 As far as today there is no inscriptions by Sangam kings in Tamil Nadu. Which is a really surprising considering the inclination of sangam kings towards learning. However some would beg to differ. Let us see, how good is this theory.The inscription is found on a rock inside a cavern, on the hillock of Jambai, a village in South Arcot district, Tamil Nadu. The village is 15 k.m. away from Thirukkoilur town. The epigraph is in Tamil-Brahmi (except for the title in Prakrit) and rads: Satiyaputo Atiyan Natuman Anci itta PaliThe meaning of the epigraph may be rendered as 'The abode (pali) given by (itta) Atiyan Neduman Anci (name), the Satyaputra (title)'. In this inscription both the northern Brahmi letter sa and the Tamil-Brahmi letter Li have been used. In his Girnar rock edict II, Ashoka details the arrangements made by him within his empire and also beyond its borders: Ye Ca anta ata Coda, Pada, Satiyaputo, ceraputo, Tambapanni, Antiyogo nama Yonalaja'Everywhere in the conquered ...
Rajkumar Santoshi To Make Ashoka With Ajay Devgan!
2007-05-10 10:50:00 Historical Dramas are becoming quite popular these days, a trend I like as long as that don’t end up distorting history! The latest director to jump into the historical bandwagon is Rajkumar Santoshi who plans to make a film on Ashoka with blue-eyed boy Ajay Devgan! I find the decision rather strange as it was not long ago that we saw Shahrukh Khan playing the emperor in Santosh Sivan’s Asoka! Given the rich history of India, you would think Santoshi would come up with another historical figure!
