Hmm. So Ashok converting to Buddhism after Kalinga battle is also not true. At this rate what needs to be “cancelled” is the education of history in India.
Phew. This article by @sanjeevsanyal (taken from a comment in this thread) gives the nitty gritty details of the Emperor who wasn’t benevolent. Would have spread Shoka all around it seems. Now where is NCERT? swarajyamag.com/culture/ashoka…
Another reference, this time from the Chinese traveller on why Ashoka adopted Buddhism. BTW interesting, this reference to good deeds in previous births and becoming a King.
