    1. Ashoka, the renowned Mauryan emperor, adopted ‘Jambudvīpa’ in his inscriptions to describe India around 250 BCE. ‘Jambudvīpa’ translates to ‘island of the jamun tree,’ a native tree symbolizing India’s rich natural heritage. Ashoka’s use of this term in official inscriptions reflected his vision of a unified India, acknowledging both its geographical expanse and its cultural diversity under a common identity.
