À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode, we explore the Kalinga War of 261 BCE, a conflict that transformed Emperor Ashoka from a ruthless conqueror into a champion of non-violence. We examine the battle's context within Ashoka's early reign, the brutal aftermath described in his own edicts, and the historical debate over whether his conversion to Buddhism was genuine or political. Drawing on the Rock Edicts, the Ashokavadana, and recent archaeological findings at Dhauli and Jaugada, we uncover how Kalinga's resistance reshaped Mauryan policy and left a lasting legacy on Indian history.
