Ashoka the Great

He ruled one of the largest empires in ancient history, conquered through war, and then became remembered for renouncing conquest itself. Ashoka the Great began as a Mauryan emperor whose armies crushed the kingdom of Kalinga, but the horror of that victory changed the course of his reign, his empire, and the spread of Buddhism across Asia. His words, carved into stone, still speak more than two thousand years later, and his legacy has influenced modern-day India.
