He was a highly learned person having in-depth knowledge in a variety of subjects like economics, politics, war strategies, medicine, and astrology. He began his career as a teacher, and went on to become a trusted ally of Emperor Chandragupta.
Samrat Ashoka, also known as Ashoka the Great, was a powerful ruler of the Mauryan Empire in ancient India (268-232 BCE). He expanded the empire significantly, eventually converting to Buddhism after witnessing the devastating effects of war.
