Question : 8
Given below are the two statements one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R).
- Assertion (A): The decline of the Maurya Empire began after the time of Ashoka.
- Reason (R): Ashoka followed the policy of Dhamma Vijaya and disbanded his army.
a) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
b) A is true, but R is false
c) A is false, but R is true
d) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Answer »Answer: (b)
The decline of the Maurya Empire began after the death of Ashoka. He died in 232 BC and his successors were not competent enough to control such a vast empire, which resulted in the gradual decline of the state. Seven kings followed Ashoka in succession in a period of 50 years.
The empire was divided into an eastern and western part. Brihadratha Maurya was the last ruler of the Mauryan dynasty. Ashoka was appalled at the grievous results of warfare and initiated a policy of dhamma Vijaya (victory through dhamma).
It has been suggested that Ashoka’s pacifism has been exaggerated as there is no indication that he disbanded the army.
Question : 9
Which of the following was not one of the reasons for the failure of dhamma?
a) It was too idealistic a concept, which could not break the social and sectarian barriers
b) Ashoka’s excessive enthusiasm produced a reaction against it
c) It was too vague a solution, because the problems lay at the very roots of the system
d) It failed to provide a solution to the problems which it set out to solve
Answer »Answer: (a)
Question : 10
Who was called by Vindhya Adhipati?
a) Ashoka
b) Simuka
c) Gautamiputra
d) Pushyamitra
Answer »Answer: (c)
Gautamiputra Satkarni was called by Vindhya Adhipati because his kingdom included the territories of Asika, Assaka, Mulaka, Saurashtra, Kukura, Aparanta, Anupa, Vidarbha, Akara and Avanti and the mountainous regions of Vindhya.
