Humanism – a belief in the capabilities and powers of human as a maker of his fate and future, this emerged as a strong belief during renaissance period when the focus of art shifted from divine to human. However, in Indian history, we find the principle of humanism embedded in ancient scriptures and politics. Ashoka, the most humane ruler not only of Indian but of world history took the path of Dharma which ultimately led to humanism. His inscriptions engraved on rocks, boulders, cave wall pillars of stone clearly announce to the world his firm belief in human values – compassion, peace non violence and religious tolerance. His ideal of kingship was paternal kingship. His humanism was not unconditional as he threatens unruly forest people and schism creators in stern language in his edicts
