Answer:
Ashoka won manynwars and then he had a war with Kalinga (name for coastal orrisa). He won the war and then saw the bloodshed .
Hundreds of people were captured .
Thousands of people died
This upset Ashoka .
He said "Whenever an independent land is captured hundre ads of people die . Many more are held captive . People who are nice to their friends and family, slaves and neighbors die or lose their loved ones .
So i have thought of dhamma . I think winning people over by dhamma is better that winning people by force ."
