Answer:
-Ashoka occupies the highest position of honor. Ashoka’s place in history has
been determined by three factors:
1. His unique role as a ruler- No ruler thought of himself like Ashoka as the
father of his subjects.
2. Remarkable achievement as a missionary- The greatness of Ashoka as a
missionary, though a mighty emperor, he never thought of making Buddhism
a state religion under compulsion or force.
3. Lasting contribution to human civilization- By renouncing violence after the
Kalinga War, he became the first pacifist in world history among the rulers.
His policy of pacifism remains like a permanent lesson for all times to come.
He exposed the futility of conquest.
