Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ashoka's religious policies supported orthodoxy in Buddhism. He promoted non-violence, moderation, and adherence to Buddhist principles. He encouraged the spread of Buddhism throughout his empire, but he did not suppress other religions. However, he did take a more critical view of Brahmanism, which was the dominant religion at the time, and he supported the growth of Buddhism in opposition to its teachings. His religious policies did not weaken the central government of the empire.
