Great doesn't necessarily mean a powerufl military conquerer. It means someone that has done good things to human society. Ashoka did many great things. Its because Ashoka was a great human being. He stood out from all of us. Same with Alexander or Julius Caesar. Here's a small list of Ahsoka's great actions.
1. Patronized Buddhism. He already it all across Asia and all the way to Rome and Egypt.
2. Encouraged protection of animals and environment. He stopped royal hunts and instead let the animals live. He was the first Indian ruler to make laws concerning the environment.
3. He spread Indian soft power through the land. He ruled 30% of the world population. Probably the largest except for the Han Dynasty. Indian influence was felt across SE Asia, the Greek territories, and Bactria.
4. He valued peace. After Kalinfa, Ashoka maintained a large military but didn't fight any wars. He kept friendly relations with Seleucids and Tamils.
5. He valued education and the arts. Ashoka built lots of temples and schools all across India. The Lion Pillar, the edicts of Ashoka.
6. His legacy is still felt today. Ashoka built the foundations for a powerful Magadha. Though later Mauryan were weak. His actions influenced the rise of the Gupta Empire, whose adminstration and military were far stronger. The arts, science, and literature also flourished in Gupta age.
So you see why he's great now? No other Indian emperor managed to do this much except maybe Akbar. Ashoka deserves the title.
