Welcome to PAATH History
It was because of increased power of the king that the Mauryan centralized monarchy became a paternal despotism under Aśoka. Legislation in that period consisted largely of a confirmation of social usage. This was the first occasion that a centralized empire had been established on such a vast scale in India, it is possible that some tribes, though within the empire, or on its border, still maintained their political organization. All these issues related to Mauryan Administration are discussed in this video.
