💥UPSC 2026, 2027 UAP Mentorship - June Batch Starts

Elucidate the main aspects of the policy of Dhamma as propounded by Ashoka and to what extent are they relevant to present-day India. 10 marks

Mentor’s comment-

  • Start by explaining what the Policy of Dhamma is.
  • In the body discuss in detail the principles underlying the policy of Dhamma. Explain in points, how the policy of Dhamma was meant to reduce various conflicts and discords present in the Mauryan society at that time. Also draw conclusion as to how that makes it more than ever relevant to today’s times.
  • Conclude that Ashoka’s Dhamma can still be an answer to the socio-political needs of the world even today.

      Hi SRP
      Good intro.
      Mention the rock edicts , for example-
      Major Rock Edict I: Prohibition of animal sacrifices and festive fathering’s.
      Major Rock Edict VII: It pleads for toleration amongst all sects.
      Good conclusion.
      Cover multiple dimensions to fetch better marks.
      Keep writing.
