Ashoka was the last prominent king of the Mauryan kingdom of India. During his reign (c. 265-238 BCE; cited as c. 273-232 BCE), he was a strong supporter of Buddhism, which helped spread to India. After his conquest of Kalinga but brutally on the east coast of India, Ashoka abandoned an armed victory for "victory by dharma."
