Ruthless Conqueror
Asoka was the ruler of the Mauryan Empire ( the main empire of India for 2000 years). After his remorse of the mass killing, for the land of Kalinga he was known for the spreading of the worldwide religion known as buddhism. The battle of Kalinga was Asoka’s most well known battle, it included the sudden gorey death of 200,000 citizens of Kalinga. Keep in mind Kalinga was a peaceful ruling, they paid their tribute to the Mauryan empire, never started conflict and strived to live in harmony with the Mauryan empire. Asoka conquered them as well as mercilessly obliterated the people of the kingdom. Asoka took control of the whole Mauryan empire in 268 BCE. Thinking he was a good guy for this action, would be incorrect, the peoples of today are clouded with nostalgia and only focus on the part of him spreading buddhism. Asoka was a ruthless conqueror and his practice of being one is still evident, yet still is neglected by today’s people.
Asoka was a ruthless conqueror and it is evident if you glance at the battle of Kalinga. In document A it states that 100,000 were slaughtered in the capturing of Kalinga, 100,000 were killed by disease/ infection (infections may of been caused by Ashoka's army as well as the wounds may not of been tended to properly and had a high chance of getting infected.) This supports the claim of ruthless conqueror by showing how many were killed, not to mention the the 150,000 citizens driven out of the city to find new land. A popular question for an uninformed reading this may be “There has to have been a motive.” and it would be correct to think that. According to document B it states that Kalinga was a very important trading route for the Mauryan, in order to trade with China.
