Question

The Chinese Pligrim Fa- Hien says that during the age of Guptas "the punishment of death remained unknown". What does it indicate? Why were the people not given death punishment?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

It indicates that the judicial system was not very strict and harsh during the reign of the Guptas. Minor punishments were generally given for offenses.

The people were not given death punishment probably because the Kings did not believe that a death penalty solved everything. They believed in ahimsa or non-violence.
