Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
More than 2300 years ago, his grandfather, Chandragupta Maurya, established the empire that Ashoka ruled. The empire had several cities. These included the capital Pataliputra, Taxila, and Ujjain. Taxila was located on the empire's northwestern border and was thus regarded as the gateway to the northwestern region, including Central Asia. Ujjain was considered the southern gateway to the north. Both cities were highly developed, and merchants and government officials lived there. Farmers, traders, and herders live in smaller towns and villages, and tribals hunt and gather in the forest regions. People spoke different languages, dressed differently, and ate different foods in different parts of the empire.
The correct statement is Ujjain was the southern gateway to the north.
