Ashoka is considered the greatest of emperors because of the way he interacted with his people. He embraced Buddhism during his reign, and tried to live the principles of his faith. He demanded religious tolerance in his kingdom, and held religious teachers of any faith in high regard. He had a mighty military, but chose to seek peace whenever possible . He provided medical care for both animals and humans, and also forbid the slaughter of cattle. He is noted for treating the animals in his kingdom as citizens.
