032 Pillar of Ashoka 18 May 2010

Tue, 18 May 10

A fragment from a pillar edict of Indian ruler Ashoka. Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, looks at how Ashoka turned his back on violence and plunder1 to promote the ethical2 codes inspired by Buddhism3. Ashoka communicated to his vast new nation through a series of edicts written on rocks and pillars, but what is his legacy4 in the Indian sub-continent today? Amartya Sen and the Bhutanese envoy5 to Britain, Michael Rutland, describe what happened when Buddhism and the power of the state came together.
