A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of The Complete History of India, Lucas and Luna explore the dramatic transformation of Ashoka Maurya, the third emperor of the Mauryan dynasty. We begin with his violent conquest of Kalinga in 261 BCE, a brutal war that left over 100,000 dead and 150,000 deported. Witnessing the carnage firsthand turned Ashoka from a ruthless conqueror into a devoted Buddhist, leading him to embrace dhamma—a policy of nonviolence, religious tolerance, and social welfare. We discuss his edicts carved on rocks and pillars across the subcontinent, the famous Pillars of Ashoka topped with lion capitals, and his missionary efforts that spread Buddhism to Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, and beyond. We also touch on the controversy over whether Ashoka's policies weakened the empire and the mystery of his later years. This episode covers Ashoka's unique blend of moral decree and imperial propaganda, his construction of stupas and hospitals, and the legacy of the chakra on India's national flag.
