Ashok the Great ?

Was Ashoka Really Great ?

He as the King, was moved into Buddhism personally.

He as the King, Enforced Buddhism on India.

He the Mighty King of Kingdom extending from Iran to Indonesia, Left his Kingdom and did not let anyone succeed him. He left a Vaccum India could never fill.

India the Mighty land was broken to several small pieces due to this vaccum.

In 711, Buddishts opened the door for Bin Kasem in Deval and rest is History.

So was he Really great. Personally yes but as a King no. He was the Modern day Bhisampitamah of Indias decay.

This is entirely newer way

This is entirely newer way of thinking, the author has indicated. It may be true that Ashok failed to provide his alternate during his regime but it is also true that he was the only person in that era who sent his sons and all reliable persons for preaching Buddhism in the entire world as a result of which, Indian has good relations with almost all Buddhist countries except a few. They all deem India a land of Mahatma Budh and sacrade.
