Ashoka in popular culture
Asoka is a largely fictionalized film based on his life.
In some conspiracy theories Ashoka is mentioned as the founder of a powerful secret society called the Nine Unknown Men.
Ashoka is a civilization leader in the PC video game Civilization 4. In the game, he is a leader of the Indian Empire, alongside Gandhi.
In Piers Anthony's series of space opera novels, Bio of a Space Tyrant, the protagonist repeatedly mentions Asoka as a model for rulers to strive for.
Air India's first 747 aircraft was named after Emperor Ashoka.
The Blake and Mortimer two-part album Les Sarcophages du Sixième Continent revolves around the sinister plot of a person posing as a resurrected Ashoka. -

Actually if he is an Indian' Indian ( not Singaporean Indian), he will know that one CANNOT find a fish head curry in India.Originally posted by angel7030:If so, can you help me, where to get the best indian curry in Singapore?

Yes people, thats right. Fish head curry is virtually non existent in restaurants in India. It was supposed to be a poor man's meal in India. Becoz the rich people usually have the more "meatier" part of the fish for their meals and often give the remainder of the head section to their maids/servants to cook and eat.
But somehow it was "brought" over to Singapore and it became a great dish here.. =)
You can try asking any Indian' Indian friend you have regarding this. He will say the same thing =) -
why would you want to eat the fish head only if you can eat the entire fish?
