The Rock Inscriptions of King Ashoka
King Ashoka was a remarkable leader, by any standard.
He inherited from his father and grandfather an immense kingdom, encompasing most of present-day India and Pakistan, which he ruled for more than forty years from to B.C.E.
Converting to Buddhism early in his reign, he worked tirelessly to uplift and civilize his world through the influence of Dhamma—the teaching of the Buddha.
He had numerous inscriptions carved on stones and pillars set up in all reaches of his empire, but within a few generations the script he used went out of usage and people no longer understood the markings.
All these sayings, and many others, thus lay unread for centuries, until British archeologists in the 19th century put the puzzle together and managed to decipher both script and language (which is close to Sanskrit and Pali).
Today Ashoka&#;s wisdom and compassion ring out clearly, bequeathing to the modern world an inspired vision of how the leader of a superpower might use his influence to steer the world toward a brighter and more noble future.

Ashoka
Ashoka was a famous emperor of the Mauryan Dynasty of Magadh ruling South Asia[5][6] who ruled from BC. His name means "Without Sorrow".[7]
Ashoka is often cited as one of India's greatest emperors. After a number of military conquests, he fought a war with the kingdom of Kalinga in which there was said to be ,+ casualties. He conquered Kalinga (present-day Odisha) around BCE.
Afterwards, shaken by his brutal victory, he decided to leave weapons 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 travellers 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 Dharma. The national emblem of India and the "Ashok Chakra" are created by Ashoka. It is in the flag to keep a remembrance of him.
