Question

How did the battle of kalinga affect ashoka​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kalinga (mordern orrissa) was an independent state on the border of the vast Mauryan empire. It controlled the routes to the south India by land and sea. Ashoka followed the policy of Digvijaya (victory in all direction). Thus Ashoka invaded Kalinga in 261 B.C. In the war 100000 people died and 150000 were wounded and made prisoners of the war. The slight of such a massacre of human lives and sufferings of the wounded made deep impression on Ashoka's mind. The unhappiness of women and children made him very sad. He decided to devote the rest of the life to spread Dharma. Dharmavijaya became the good of Ashoka's life. He is the first emperor in the history of the world to give up war after victory.
