Answer 2

Ashoka was a great ruler of ancient India and has a number of achievements. He was a great missionary ruler who worked enthusiastically for his mission of spreading Buddhism and achieved a great deal, both at home and abroad.

                He unified the country politically. He strengthened the bonds even further by one dharma, one language and virtually one script called Brahmi. But at the same time he respected other non-Indian scripts like Kharoshthi, Aramaic and Greek. This helped him to establish contact with literate people.

                Ashoka followed a tolerant religious policy. He offered gifts to non-Buddhist and even anti-Buddhist sects. He appointed officials to look after the welfare of the people in far flung areas of the empire. He promoted cultural interaction between the people living in the developed Gangetic basin and distant backward provinces.

                He is well known in history for his policy of peace, non-aggression and cultural conquest. He gave up war after the conquest of Kalinga.
