About this app

Ashoka is often cited as one of South Asia's greatest emperors. After a number of military conquests, he reigned over much of present-day India, and Eastern Pakistan. He fought a war with the kingdom of Kalinga in which there was said to be 200,000+ casualties. He conquered Kalinga (present-day Odisha) around 261 BCE.

Afterwards, shaken by his brutal victory, he decided to become a Buddhist and lead with peace, not war. To do this, he set up hospitals for animals and humans, created shaded and rested areas along roads for weary travelers to rest, and dug wells in villages. We know these things about his life through various inscriptions (writing) on rocks and pillars. Ashoka also convinced people to follow Buddhists paths.

सम्राट अशोक ने संपूर्ण एशिया में तथा अन्य आज के सभी महाद्विपों में भी बौद्ध पन्थ का प्रचार किया। सम्राट अशोक के सन्दर्भ के स्तम्भ एवं शिलालेख आज भी भारत के कई स्थानों पर दिखाई देते हैं। इसलिए सम्राट अशोक की ऐतिहासिक जानकारी अन्य किसी भी सम्राट या राजा से बहूत व्यापक रूप में मिल जाती है। सम्राट अशोक प्रेम, सहिष्णूता, सत्य, अहिंसा एवं शाकाहारी जीवनप्रणाली के सच्चे समर्थक थे, इसलिए उनका नाम इतिहास में महान परोपकारी सम्राट के रूप में ही दर्ज हो चुका है। कल्हण के राजतरंगणी मे धर्माशोक का उल्लेख आता है।.
