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; People should live in peace and harmony. Everyone should practice the principle of ahimsa, i.e. non-violence and non-injury to all living beings. 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 Komal
      Good intro.
      Mention the rock edicts also. 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.
      Rest of the answer is well written.
      Decent structure.
      Underline keywords.
      Keep working hard.

      -Major Rock Edict VII: It pleads for toleration amongst all sects.
      Also mention that since he wanted to conquer the world through love and faith, he sent many missions to propagate Dhamma. Such missions were sent to far off places like Egypt, Greece and Sri Lanka. .
      Good structure.
      Keep writing.

      -Major Rock Edict I: Prohibition of animal sacrifices and festive fathering’s.
      -Major Rock Edict VII: It pleads for toleration amongst all sects.
      Rest of the answer is well written.
      Good structure.
