Test 47, Q28. Need explanation for statement 3 about Ashoka's Dhamma
The tribal policy of Chanakya first and then Ashoka was quite stern in nature. The wanted to break down the tribals into the unit of 5 to 6 families to be settled as agriculturalist. It was done with the hope that agricultural production would increase and tribal violence would decrease. Hence the threat by Ashoka. This information is available in detail in the IGNOU book. However, as I am unable to find the digital copy of that chapter I am attaching NCERT Screenshot.

@Thinker sir. Q17: Test 51.
Point 2 of question- Is not exactly from IMCR 2002. In original IMCR 2002 there is no mention regarding capital latter.
In 2016 amendment it had been added to prevent mis interpretation.
Enclosure-1. Snap from Mentioned act.
2. The Hindu news link in which HM declaring an amendment.
So this question is wrongly framed or there should be ANS B- 2 only.
