History
Ashoka the Great, was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, who ruled almost all of the
Indian subcontinent from c. 268 to 232 BCE. The grandson of the founder of the Maurya
Dynasty, Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka promoted the spread of Buddhism. One of India's
greatest emperors.
Emperor Ashoka was seen as a role model to leaders within the Buddhist community. He not
only provided guidance and strength, but he also created personal relationships with his
supporters. Throughout Theravada Southeastern Asia, the model of rulership embodied by
Ashoka replaced the notion of divine kingship that had previously dominated (in the Angkor
kingdom, for instance).
