They were way ahead of there time, unlike them not a single indian empire focused much on art & literature except guptas, classical and medieval era indian sculptures are the only ones that come near them, their aesthetics were perfect, not even later europeans were able to match them...

I never understood why people hype mauryans so much, that empire lacks soul, only reason our chutiya government praise them is cuz they want buddhist/bhimta votes
Their sculptors are ugly

Mauryan empire isn't shilled for its art. Only for its administrative framework, martial tradition and progressive society for 300 bc. Anyway mauryan art.
