#అశోక #వృక్షాలు

-- ముత్తేవి రవీంద్రనాథ్ గారి వ్యాసం

ఇటీవలి మా ఈశాన్య రాష్ట్రాల పర్యటన సందర్భంగా మేము పలు ప్రాంతాలలో అశోక వృక్షాలు చూశాము. ముఖ్యంగా అస్సామ్ లోని #గువాహాటిలోని విశ్వవిద్యాలయ ప్రాంగణంలో చాలా అశోక వృక్షాలు కనిపించాయి.

'అశోక' అనే సంస్కృత పదానికి శోకము Image
లేనిది (Sorrow-less) అని అర్థం. రామాయణ కథనం ప్రకారం సీతను చెరబట్టిన రావణుడు ఆమెను లంకా నగరంలోని #అశోకవనం లోనే బందీగా ఉంచాడంటారు. 'అశోకవనమున సీత .. శోకించె వియోగము చేత' అనే పాట మనందరం విన్నదే.

మన్మథునికి 'పంచేషుడు',' పంచబాణుడు', 'పంచశరుడు' అనే పేర్లున్నాయి. సంస్కృతంలో 'పంచ' Image
అంటే ఐదు అనీ, 'ఇషు' అన్నా 'శర' అన్నా 'బాణము' అని అర్థం. మన్మథుడికి 'పుష్పశరుడు', ' సుమశరుడు' అనే పేర్లు కూడా ఉన్నాయి. అంటే ఆయన పూవులనే బాణాలుగా వేస్తాడన్నమాట. యువతీయువకులపై మన్మథుడు ఐదు రకాల పూలను బాణాలుగా ప్రయోగించి వారిలో కామతాపాన్ని రగులుస్తాడట. ఆయన అమ్ముల పొది(Quiver) లో Image

अशोक: क्रूर बौद्ध राजा - 1

लगभग सारे विवरण इस बात पर सहमत हैं कि अशोक का प्रारंभिक शासनकाल हिंसक और अलोकप्रिय था, उसे ‘चंड अशोक’ कहा जाता था।

अशोक का 13वां शिलालेख कलिंग युद्ध का वर्णन करता है। जबकि किसी भी बौद्ध ग्रंथ में इस युद्ध की चर्चा नहीं की गई है।

1/14 अशोक एक क्रूर बौद्ध राजा था...
2/14
262 ईसा पूर्व में अशोक ने कलिंग पर हमला किया था जबकि लघु शिलालेखों से हमें पता है कि अशोक लगभग 2 साल पहले ही बौद्ध धर्म अपना चुका था।

कोई भी बौद्ध ग्रंथ उसके धर्म परिवर्तन को युद्ध से नहीं जोड़ता और चार्ल्स ऐलन जैसे अशोक के प्रशंसक भी सहमत हैं कि अशोक एक क्रूर बौद्ध राजा था...
3/14
उसने कलिंग युद्ध से पहले धर्म परिवर्तन कर लिया था। इसके अलावा धर्म परिवर्तन करने से एक दशक पहले से उसके बौद्धों के साथ संबंध प्रतीत होते हैं। यह साक्ष्य साबित करता है कि उसका बौद्ध धर्म अपनाना उत्तराधिकार की राजनीति ज्यादा रही होगी, युद्ध की त्रासदी से उपजा पश्चाताप कम। अशोक एक क्रूर बौद्ध राजा था...

Hello #twitterstorians! Sorry about the break for the last two days. There were...uh...technical difficulties...
But we're back! In this thread, I, @StevenMVose, want to give a brief #history of the #Delhi Sultanate and share some facts and recent scholarly takes that may complicate the #narrative of the Sultanate, and of #Islam in So.

I will also highlight some #Jain interactions with the Sultans, which suggest a complex set of interactions between #Indian religious communities and the emerging #Islamicate "state" in the late 13th and early 14th c's. CE
