Answer / Chandan Kumar Choudhary
Asoka's policy of Dharma emphasized moral conduct, respect for all living beings, and religious tolerance. Key features included the promotion of Buddhism, construction of stupas and pillars with edicts, and sending emissaries to various kingdoms. Its impact on the downfall of the Mauryan dynasty is debated; some argue it led to a weakening of central authority due to the expansion of Buddhism, while others suggest it contributed to social harmony and unity.
