ASOKA |
|
| Asoka was a
great King of India. He was the grandson of Chandragupta. He, too, was a great warrior. He was also a learned man. Asoka ruled the country from the same capital as his grandfather did Pataliputra. Once Asoka invaded Kalinga, a near-by state, with his army. In the battle, he saw thousands of soldiers being killed. Their blood flowed like a river. This sight moved his heart. He immediately stopped all wars. He vowed never to make war, because war killed people. |
