General KnowledgeHistory of India
- ABrahmaputra valley, Assam
- BBaluchistan
- CNorth Bengal
- DKashmir valley
Explanation
Ashoka's inscriptions show his empire covering Baluchistan (the Kandahar edicts), North Bengal and the Kashmir valley (tradition credits him with founding Srinagar). The Brahmaputra valley (Kamarupa) lay outside Mauryan control, and no Ashokan edicts have been found there. It is therefore the region not included in Ashoka's empire.
