administrative important system of implement by Ashoka in kalinga war
Answers
Explanation:
Furthermore the administration of Emperor Ashoka after his spiritual transformation was focused solely on the well-being of his subjects. He was closely assisted in his administrative duties by his younger brother, Vithashoka and a group of trusted minister, whom Ashoka consulted before adopting any new administrative policy. The most important members of this advisory council included the Yuaraj (Crown Prince), the Mahamantri (Prime Minister), the Senapati (general) and the Purohita (Priest). Ashoka’s region saw introduction of a large number of benevolent policies as compared to his predecessors. He adopted a paternalistic view on administration and proclaimed
“The people of unconquered lands must become firmly convinced that in our eyes the King is like a father. He feels towards his people what he would feel towards himself, they are dear to him as his children.”
,as evident from the Kalinga edict. He also expressed his indebtedness to his subjects for bestowing with their love and respect, and that he considered it his duty to serve for their greater good. He became a benevolent king, driving his administration to make a just and bountiful environment for his subjects. Owing to his benevolent nature as a ruler, he was given title ‘Devanampriya Priyadarshi’. Ashoka and his glorious rule is associated with one of the most prosperous time in the history of India and as attribute to his non-partisan philosophies, the Dharma Chakra adorning the Ashok Stambh has been made a part of the Indian National Flag. The emblem of the Republic of India has been adapted from the Lion Capital of Ashoka’s pillar at Sarnath.
The word Dhamma is the Prakrit form of the Sanskrit word Dharma. There have been attempts to define and find equivalent English words for it, such as "piety", "moral life" and "righteousness" or "duty" but scholars could not translate it into English because it was coined and used in a specific context. The word Dharma has multiple meanings in the literature and thought of ancient India. The best way to understand what Ashoka means by Dharma is to read his edicts, which were written to explain the principles of Dharma to the people of that time throughout the empire.
Dharma was not a particular religious faith or practice, or an arbitrary formulated royal policy. Dharma related to generalized norms of social behavior and activities; Ashoka tried to synthesize various social norms which were current in his time. It cannot be understood by assuming it is one of the various religions that existed at that time. To understand why and how Ashoka formulated Dharma and its meaning, one must understand the characteristics of the time in which he lived and to refer to Buddhist, Brahmanical and other texts where norms of social behavior are explained.
Some historians link Ashoka’s policy of Dhamma with Buddhism. According to V.A. Smith, Ashoka actually became a Buddhist monk for a short span of his life. V.A Smith believes that he was both a monk and a monarch at the same time. D.R. Bhandarkar claims that Ashoka was a Buddhist and his policy of dhamma was actually original Buddhism as preached by the Buddha. Radha Kumud Mookerji also formulates that as far as the personal religion of Ashoka is concerned, it may be taken as Buddhism.
