Question

how was the effect of aftermath of the Kalinga War on Ashoka?

Answer 1

The ideology of Buddhism guided Ashoka’s state policy at home and abroad.

After his accession to the throne, Ashoka fought only one major war called the Kalinga war. According to him, 100,000 people were killed in the course of it, several lakhs died, and 150,000 were taken prisoners.

These numbers are exaggerated, because the number ‘a hundred thousand’ is used as a cliche in Ashokan inscriptions.

Answer 2
