Great information not known to majority of people.

I too studied about Ashok converting after Kalinga.
Such distorted history was fed to the young minds.

[ravindranathkokki]

Even I too studied the same information in my school text box. It’s so nice that people like him, sai Deepak are bringing the true history in media now. Many people can’t take it. I request people to see the history as historic without any political side.

[prashvet]

We were duped by likes of Romila thaoar and gang who gave us distorted history in school text books

[amit_awadhi]

Ashoka was Buddhist, his father Bindusaar was follower of Ajivikas and his grandfather Chandragupta followed teachings of Jainism.
They all considered themselves as Hindus, respected Vedas and scriptures and done many great things for Hindu community.

[rashmiranjannayak]

Upcourse Kalinga or present Odisha is defamed by the past marketing or propaganda conspiracy but the straight answer had given by "Mahameghabahaan Ayeera Kharabela" including Magadha he also defeated jaban king. The statement clears the conspiracy to defame this land Odisha.

You are completely right. He converted to Buddhism under the influence of a monk called Samudra. The day in which Ashoka converted into Buddhism is celebrated as Ashoka vijayadhasmi.

[arumugamkamaraj]

yes true
Bhuddist monks made many wars between Hindhu king by converting them to Buddhism
in South India, Buddhist monks made very cruel wars between Kancheepuram king and to Vatapu kings
Did a very cruel masaakare in both sides
