Which of the following rock-cut edicts of Emperor Ashoka is unique because it is written in Greek and Aramaic scripts, catering to the local population in the northwestern borderlands?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Shar-i-Kuna bilingual inscription found in Kandahar, Afghanistan, is unique among Ashokan edicts because it is written in Greek and Aramaic scripts to communicate royal Dhamma principles to the local Hellenistic and Aramaic-speaking populations. Most other Indian edicts of Ashoka are written in Brahmi or Kharosthi scripts.
