Great emperor - Ashok🙏🙏

Ashok was greatest emperor of the Mauryan Dynasty of world. Who ruled from 304-232 BC. 
  After a number of military conquests, he reigned over much of present day India. He fought a war with the kingdom of kalinga in which there was said to be 200,000+ Casualties. Ashok is often a cited as one of India's greatest emperor. 
    After wards, shaken by his brutal victory, he decided to become a Buddhist and lead with peace not war. To do this he set up hospital for animals and humans created shaded and rested areas along road for weary travellers to rest, and dug well in village. We know these things about his life through various inscriptions (writing) on rocks and pillars. 
   Ashok also convinced people to follow Buddhist paths. 
    The national emblem of India and the " Ashok Chakra "are created by Ashok. It's in the flag to keep a remembrance of him.
