James Prinsep was a British antiquary and engraver, best known for his work in deciphering ancient inscriptions, particularly those in Brahmi and Kharosthi scripts. His breakthrough in understanding these scripts in the early 19th century significantly contributed to the study of Indian history and archaeology. Additionally, he played a key role in the establishment of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal and contributed to the field of numismatics through his studies of ancient coins.
The Brahmi script was discovered in 1838 by British archaeologist James Prinsep. He deciphered the inscriptions found on ancient Indian edicts, particularly those of Emperor Ashoka, which played a crucial role in understanding early Indian history and languages. Prinsep's work laid the foundation for the study of ancient Indian scripts and languages.
