At its peak in 250 BCE the Maurya Empire was the wealthiest and
largest empire in the world, extending across much of modern India,
Pakistan and Afghanistan. In this book Colleen Taylor Sen explores
the life, achievements and legacy of the Maurya emperor Ashoka, one
of the greatest leaders in Indian history. The book relates how,
after a bloody war in 261 bce, Ashoka renounced violence and spent
the rest of his life promoting religious tolerance, animal rights,
environmental protection, peace and multiculturalism – a policy
he called Dhamma. This well-illustrated book explores the legacy
and influence of the Mauryas in politics throughout Southeast Asia,
China and India, as well as in contemporary popular culture.
