Question

Who among the following rulers advised his subjects through this inscription: “Whosoever praises his religious sect or blames other sects out of excessive devotion to his own sect, with the view of glorifying his own sect, he rather injures his own sect very severely.”?

Accepted Answer

This inscription highlights the principle of religious tolerance and respect for all faiths. Emperor Ashoka, known for his Dhamma policy, extensively promoted such ideas through his edicts across his vast empire. He advocated for mutual respect among different religious communities to maintain social harmony and unity. The other rulers listed, while significant, are not as prominently associated with such explicit pronouncements on inter-religious harmony in their inscriptions.
