Question

How did the rule of Asoka affect the empire? (a) He imposed strict rules and punishments on people throughout the Mauryan Empire. b He ordered the killings of thousands of people in lands outside the Mauryan Empire. c He stopped warfare and had Buddhist shrines built throughout the Mauryan Empire. d He produced a legal code that governed all people who lived in the Mauryan Empire.

Answer 1

Answer:

At first he ruled like his grandfather, Chandragupta Maurya, using warfare and violence. However, after a battle, he felt sorrow over the murder and suffering that war gives, and therefore decides to rule his empire through peace and non-violence. He converted to Buddhism and encouraged many people to do the same by spreading Buddhist ideas in pillars throughout the many roads he built.
