Ashoka was the last major emperor in the Mauryan dynasty of India. He reigned during the 3rd century BCE. His vigorous patronage of Buddhism furthered the expansion of that religion throughout India. Following his conquest of the Kalinga country, he renounced armed conquest and adopted a policy that he called “conquest by dharma.” Ashoka , popularly known as Ashoka the Great, and also referred to as Chakraravartin Samrat Ashoka , was the third Mauryan Emperor of Magadha in the Indian subcontinent during c. 268 to 232 BCE.
