The Mauryan King Ashoka the Great is one of the most powerful kings of Ancient India. He ruled from 268 to 232 BCE.

Explanation:

  • Ashoka carried forward the task of expansion of the Mauryan Empire which was started by the founder of the Mauryan Empire, that is Chandragupta Maurya.
  • Kalinga, present day Odisha has various ports and powerful navy, and Ashoka wanted to capture the city for improving the trade routes with Southeast Asia.
  • His grandfather, Chandragupta Maurya has also attempted to capture Kalinga, but failed. Ashoka took the task upon himself and the Battle of Kalinga was fought on 260 BCE and lasted for about 5 years.
  • According, to some estimates about 1,00,000 people died on both sides, leaving another tens and thousands as wounded, widowed and orphaned.
  • The death and destruction brought by the Kalinga War left a deep impact on Ashoka, and later because of this he renounced war practices and adopted the policy of Dhamma.
  • Dhamma is a Buddhist principle of truth and non violence.
  • He ordered the foundation of various edicts that informs people about the policy of Dhamma and would encourage them to adopt these principles.
  • He also appointed special officers for supervising the belief of Dhamma.
