He Built Animal Hospitals in 257 BCE: The Indian King Who Pioneered Veterinary Care.

🌿 Did ancient India pioneer universal healthcare... even for animals?
In this episode of BARIResearch’s Rock Edict Wisdom Series, we dive into Major Rock Edict 2, where Emperor Ashoka laid out a revolutionary plan for a secular welfare state in 257 BCE. This edict wasn’t about rituals—it was about real care for every living being.

🛕 Ashoka’s vision included:

Hospitals for humans and animals (early veterinary care)

Imported medicinal herbs

Wells and shady trees planted along roads

A reach that extended from South India to the Greek world

Join us as we unpack how this visionary king’s secular Dhamma still inspires modern solutions for climate action, public health, and compassionate governance—from Girnar’s rocks to your screen in 2025.
