| Asoka the great, as he is popularly known, was the last emperor
of the Maurya dynasty of India. He ruled the major subcontinents
in India, extending the lineage of his grandfather
Chandragupta Maurya from Afghanistan in the west to
Bangladesh in the east.
Also known as the Buddhist emperor, he became the biggest
preacher of the religion in the country. He embraced Buddhism
after the bloody and brutal war of Kalinga. He is remembered
for the pillars and edicts propagating tenets of Buddhism, to
spread virtues of honesty, truthfulness, compassion toward all,
and for establishing monuments marking several significant
sites in the life of Gautama Buddha.
Asoka: The Buddhist Emperor of India charts how this exemplary king made history,
and explores the transformation of a tyrant and despot to a devotional monk
following and spreading the tenets of non-violence and benevolence. |
