Explanation:
Answer:
When Ashoka became the king, Kalinga was not the part of Mauryan Empire. He decided to conquer Kalinga. He invaded Kalinga and conquered it. But both the armies suffered heavy losses. 1,00,000 people were killed in this war, and 1,50,000 were taken prisoners.
Ashoka saw the wounded and dying soldiers and the widows and orphans and the misery and sufferings that war had brought to the people. This caused Ashoka much grief and remorse: So, he decided that he would not fight any more wars in future and instead spread the ideology of Dhamma.
Ashoka's dhamma was not related to the worship of any god or performance of sacrifice. He considered that it was his responsibility, just like a father has towards his children, to instruct the people of the empire so as to reduce conflicts among them. He was inspired by the teachings of the Buddha.
