Post-Mauryan Literature
Post-Mauryan Literature (c. 200 BCE – 300 CE) represents a period of significant cultural diffusion and intellectual diversification following the collapse of the Mauryan Empire. This era saw the emergence of key religious texts, the systematization of knowledge, and the flourishing of regional languages, bridging the gap between the philosophical Upanishadic period and the centralized classical literature of the Gupta Age.
