Answer:
The Emperor Ashoka (r. circa 268-232 BCE) was one of the most famous rulers in Indian history, and is considered by some to be one of the greatest monarchs ever to rule. He was the first to unite the entire subcontinent except for a few small regions in the south. After engaging in several wars of conquest, Ashoka renounced violence and became an ardent devotee of Buddhism. He commissioned numerous works to commemorate the life of Gautama Buddha and erected many temples in his honor. Additionally, according to the sources, Ashoka converted scores of people to the religion. He is remembered as a wise, benevolent, and just ruler.
Ashoka, also known as Ashoka the Great, was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent from c. 268 to 232 BCE. A grandson of the dynasty's founder Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka promoted the spread of Buddhism across ancient Asia.
