Answer:
Ashok was one of the two great emperors of India. He reigned for about 40 years after he became ruler of Magadh in 272 B.C.
He was the first king to educate his men and lead them to the path of truth. He was the only military man who gave up warfare.
Ashok was the grandson of Chandra Gupta who founded the Maurya Empire. The name of his father was Bindusar.
Ashok was brought up in ‘Patliputra, the capital of Magadh. In the name of education he was taught things that would supply learning, culture and wealth.
It is said that as a child he was very furious. But after he had acceeded throne, there was a complete change in his nature.
About the year 262 B.C. he decided to make an attack on the kingdom of Kalinga now called Orissa. He fought a bl*ody war after a great slaughter of men, women and children, he conquered Kalinga and added it to his empire.
But he had not the cruel heart of a conqueror. The sight of terible ruin filled his mind with horror.
