    Ashoka successfully established a democratic-like state during his reign over the Mauryan Empire from 265-238 BCE. He promoted ideals of peace, welfare, and equality for all people protected under the law. Evidence of his philosophies can still be seen today through the edicts he had carved throughout the Indian subcontinent. The national emblem of India, featuring Ashoka's lion capital, serves as a symbol of India's democratic principles.
