Ashoka’s commitment to the happiness and welfare of all his people conflicts directly with which aspect of Indian society?

The caste system divided people into ranked social groups and limited their opportunities based on birth. Ashoka’s commitment to the happiness and welfare of all his people conflicts with that inequality, so the best answer is the caste system. Warfare strategies and cultural advancement do not inherently prevent concern for everyone’s welfare, and Hinduism itself is not the direct conflict described.
