Dhamma is a set of edicts that formed a policy of the Mauryan emperor Ashoka, who succeeded to the Mauryan throne in modern-day India around 269 C.E.[1] He is considered as 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]
