Answer 1

$\sf\huge \mathbb{\underline{\underline{{Solution}}}}$

Kalinga War (261 BC)

• 'Kalinga' is the name of modern Indian state 'Odisha'.
• Ashoka fought the 'Kalinga war' where it said that 1,00,000 people were Killed, 1,50,000 were captured and several lakhs ruined.
• The war brought Brahmana, priests, the Buddhist monks great suffering, which caused Ashoka much grief and remorse. It seems that the King was moved by the massacre in the war.
• He also inscribed messages for the future, so that his son and grandson after him would also practice the policy of 'dhamma' and not the policy of war.
• ('Dhamma' is derived word of Sanskrit means 'Dharma').
• The main objective of Ashoka's dhamma was to preserve the social order.
