Question

Would you want to live in the Mauryan Empire under Ashoka’s Rock and Pillar Edicts? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes, because it was a period of peace and prosperity.

Explanation:

• Ashoka was the third emperor of the Maurya dynasty and ruled India from 268 to 239 BC. Shocked by the destruction he caused with his war, Ashoka accepted Buddhism and spent the rest of his reign trying to rule his vast empire on spiritual principles.
• He renounced aggressive foreign policy, promoted harmony among religions, established hospitals, humanized the legal system, and sent Buddhist missionaries across the Indian subcontinent and beyond.
• Mostly thanks to Ashoka's patronage, Buddhism has so quickly become an all-India religion.
• To announce his reforms, Ashoka issued a series of proclamations and carved them on huge stone pillars erected across India.
• These proclamations or edicts are the earliest written declarations of ancient India to date.
