Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the content and international diplomacy mentioned in Major Rock Edict XIII.
Major Rock Edict XIII records both the devastating impact of the Kalinga War and Ashoka's Dhamma conquest reaching five Greek kings (Antiochus, Ptolemy, Antigonus, Magas, and Alexander). This statement is correct.
It verifies Ashoka's foreign relations and diplomatic outreach during his reign.
2
Evaluate the administrative role of the Mauryan provincial official known as 'Rajuka'.
Pillar Edict IV specifically details how Rajukas were vested with judicial independence and authority to administer justice in agrarian regions. This statement is correct.
It confirms the evolution of Mauryan administrative roles from simple survey officials to rural magistrates.
3
Examine the epigraphic evidence of welfare and famine mitigation initiatives in Mauryan times.
The Sohgaura copper plate and Mahasthangarh inscription explicitly document the maintenance of royal granaries for emergency distribution during distress like famines. This statement is correct.
These inscriptions provide early historical proof of institutional welfare and famine management in ancient India.
4
Verify the purpose and site history of the Rummindei Pillar Inscription.
The Rummindei inscription commemorates the birth of Shakyamuni Buddha at Lumbini and records fiscal concessions granted due to its sacred nature, rather than celebrating a military conquest at Kausambi. This statement is incorrect.
It misattributes the commemorative intent and geographic context of a key royal pilgrimage pillar.
