The use of the Kharosthi script, a form of Iranian writing became popular in northwestern India and some of Asoka’s edicts were written in that script. Influence of Persian art on the art of the Mauryas can be clearly seen, particularly the monolithic pillars of Asoka and the sculptures found on them.
