A life of east and luxury is favorable for the growth of art and literature, and the period under review witnessed remarkable progress in both. In some respects India may even be said to have reached the high watermark of its artistic achievements during this age. It has been remarked by a high authority that the history of Indian art is written in decay, and that the period of Asoka, the Maurya, may be said to be the culminating point in its progress. We know hardly anything of Indian during the long interval between end of the Sundhu Valley civilization and the time of Ashoka, and very little actual remains of this period have survived. It may not accordingly be supposed however, that the Indian had little or no knowledge of art before Ashoka The literary testimony is sufficient to demolish this absurd hypothesis entertained too long by a group of European scholars, and no one can possibly doubt that the perfection of Ashokan art presupposes a long period of continuous and steady development of which no actual specimen has yet been found. ~ Page 222
