Dhamma is a set of edicts that formed a policy of the Mauryan emperor Ashoka Maurya (Devanāgarī: अशोक, IAST: Aśoka), who succeeded to the Mauryan throne in modern-day India around 269 B.C.[1] Many historians[which?] consider him one of the greatest kings of ancient India for his policies of public welfare. His policy of Dhamma has been debated by intellectuals.[2][3]
