In which state is the Jaugada Rock Edict of Ashoka located?
Answer
Correct Answer : a ) Odisha
Explanation :The Jaugada rock edict is one of the earliest relics of mass communication. In 1872, the edict was officially reported by W F Grahame.
Jaugada is an ancient fort that served as the Maurya fortified capital of the Kalinga province. Jaugada is located near the cities of Berhampur and Purushottampur in the Ganjam district of Odisha, India.
Jaugada is an important archaeological and historical site. Dhauli (ancient name Toshali) and Jaugada (earlier known as Samapa) in Odisha, fell in ancient Kalinga that was attacked and plundered by Ashoka’s soldiers. These new Kalinga rock edicts were different from other edicts of Ashoka.
Jaugada is the second place in Odisha to have a major Ashokan inscription, also known as the Kalinga Edict.
Hence, (a) is the correct answer.
