Ashoka's inscriptions give direct information about what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Dhamma and policy of rule
Ashoka’s inscriptions are primary evidence for his ideas about Dhamma, moral conduct, welfare, religious tolerance and the responsibilities of officials. They do not explain the undeciphered Indus script, which is much earlier, nor do they record Gupta poetry or Chola voyages. Their wording must still be interpreted in historical context rather than treated as a complete account of his reign.
