Ashoka, the Mauryan emperor who ruled from 268 to 232 BCE, is often regarded as one of India's greatest rulers. Initially known for his military conquests, he later embraced Buddhism and promoted non-violence, tolerance, and moral governance. His edicts, inscribed on pillars and rocks throughout his empire, emphasized ethical conduct, social welfare, and the importance of dharma (righteousness). Ashoka's transformation from a ruthless conqueror to a benevolent leader marked a significant shift in governance and left a lasting legacy in Indian history.
