Who Is Ashoka? India's Pacifist King Part 2
The Most Unique Ruler In History: Emperor Ashoka Documentary
If you look at the flag of modern-day India or the money changing hands between modern-day Indians you may be surprised to discover that they have a link to an Emperor that reigned more than 2000 years ago.
He is one of if not the only powerful ruler in world history that tried to conquer by way of morality, and his giant stone pillars, once lost to the sands of time, but now raised again from the Earth tell the story of a complicated man, once bloodthirsty and then tranquil. A man that transformed Buddhism from a small philosophical sect into a global religion. But could his entire legacy be made up? Ancient propaganda still working today.
In this video, we will conclude the story of Ashoka and see what made him one of the most unique rulers in history.
