Asoka: The Great
Monisha Mukundan
Asoka: The Great - New Delhi Rupa & Co 2002 - 72 p. HB 16x13 cm - Charitavali Series .
Over two thousand years ago, an Indian monarch spoke of the duties of a King. He saw himself as the father of his people, working ceaselessly for their welfare. Then at a time when conquerers were admired, he gave up war and chose the path of peace. There have been few monarchs in the world like Asoka, the Mauryan King who ruled over India's first empire. After a devastating war, he became a Buddhist and spread the words of the Buddha across the land. Then he carved his thoughts on rocks and pillars for posterity. Asoka's wise and compassionate voice speaks to us across the centuries and his words are relevent even today.
