When Ashoka became the king, mauryan empire's part was not kalinga.
He decided to control over kalinga. He invaded it and grabbed control over it.
But both the armies suffered huge losses. Over 1,00,000 people were killed in this war, and Over 1,50,000 were taken prisoners.
This caused ashoka much grief and guilt . So , he decided that he would not fight any more wars in future.
