Scholars Alexander Cunningham, William Jones and James Prinsep renewed interest in India's ancient culture

  • Alexander Cunningham was an archaeologist and held an important post in the Archaeological Survey of India.
  • He played a significant role in the rediscovery and identification of several ancient Indian places that were also described in Buddhist writings.
  • William Jones was a philologist who made substantial contributions to the study of comparative linguistics.
  • He also formed the Asiatic Society of Bengal, a group devoted to the study of Asian history and culture.
  • An English scholar named James Prinsep helped shed light on the history and culture of India's Maurya dynasty by deciphering the inscriptions on Ashoka pillars.
  • All three academics significantly advanced our understanding of ancient Indian culture and rekindled our interest in it.
