Explanation:

The mindless destruction of life and property in Kalinga war shattered Ashoka so greatly that he vowed never to wage any war again.Instead he adopted the policy of Dhamma Vijaya that is conquest through dhamma.In his thirteenth major Rock Edict, Asoka states that true conquest is by piety and virtue.Such a decision taken by a king, who lived in an era where military might was the measure of power, earned him a unique place in history.According to a Buddhist tradition, Asoka sent Buddhist missions to regions such as Sri Lanka and Central Asia.Buddhism spread to different parts of the world and although it is no longer a major force in India today, yet it continues to be popular in Sri Lanka and the Far Eastern countries.
