Who Is Ashoka? India's Pacifist King Part 1

Emperor Ashoka: A Bloodsoaked Pacifist INDIAN HISTORY DOCUMENTARY
If you look at the flag of modern-day India or the money changing hands between modern-day Indians you may be surprised to discover that they have a link to an Emperor that reigned more than 2000 years ago.
He is one of if not the only powerful ruler in world history that tried to conquer by way of morality, and his giant stone pillars, once lost to the sands of time, but now raised again from the Earth tell the story of a complicated man, once bloodthirsty and then tranquil. A man that transformed Buddhism from a small philosophical sect into a global religion. But could his entire legacy be made up? Ancient propaganda still working today. We’ll look at all of this and more on this double episode on the life and legacy of Ashoka the Great.

It's great. Really good work but I guess one part of emperor is missing. After crowning Ashoka continued his expansion policy and won present day afghanistan and few parts of Iran this stretching his kingdom from burma to iran. Apart from that everything is very well explained 😊

[@indiantiger3040]

@@CogitoEdu Please read about king shivaji maharaj. I bet you will regret never that. He is one of the greatest but most underrated king of India. He was not just great warrior and general but great leader and ideal leader as well. Please read my following thread to understand him . *why shivaji maharaj is the greatest king of India* At time of shivaji maharaj, 5 major players were ruling India. 1) mughal empire (richest empire of that time), adeelshai dynasty (second most powerful after mughals), siddis( fierce african warriors), Portuguese and Britishers. 2]Situation of that time was totally against anyone who wanted to create his own sovergin state. Those whoe tried it were miserably failed. 3] Governers and rulers of those days were brutally oppressing people. Rape was a comman thing. Subjects of the rulers were being treated as objects. And any revolt against this tyranny was resulted into nothing but tragic faliures. 4] In such a days, one day *at age of 14* shivaji maharaj gathered some of his friends and told them idea of *swarajya* , a sovereign kingdom where everybody will have freedom and justice. That time shivaji has no funds, not weapons, no 'trained' soliders and not any external support. 5]At the very beginning of his tiny kingdom he has to immediately face invasions of mughal empire and a adeelshahi dynasty. 6] His army was always outnumbered in battle. But miraculously shivaji maharaj was able to defeat most of the invaders and was able to create powerful mighty hindavi swaranya. 7]Besides this his governance, adminstarion, religious tolerance and respect towards woman makes him one of the greatest kings of India. (This is actually very important because most of the armies in history considered women and commeners as their property) These are not even 1 percent of his story. Please read books about him and try to make video on him
