      @@Glimpses hey brain dead, ashoka killed his brothers because his brothers killed his mother, his guru chanakya, his father also. Now tell me, if your brothers do such things with you, do you let them alive. While showing dark sides, you should also show reason, real reason. Understand, by the way, I appreciate your efforts, ♥️♥️

      ​@@vedantsisode6043 I agree with you but then why ashoka not kill Mahamatya Khalltak who was also part of chanakya death or he was any minister of Bindusara according to history who kill chanakya . Khalattak help ashoka in last 3 episode of ashoka but that doesn't change the fact that Khalltak was the creator for set the trap to chanakya death . He should atleast punished for that . Didn't ashoka become selfish here

    During his initial days Ashoka was very cruel, and is believed to have killed his half brothers in order to get throne. As a result he began to be called as a Chand Ashoka, meaning Brutal Ashoka.

  • @kharagpurplayer7065
    @kharagpurplayer7065 7 місяців тому +1

    Though the torture chamber was meant to punish prisoners, Ashoka had made a rule that even if an innocent, unsuspecting person stepped into the Hell, s/he should not walk out alive. The Hell was helmed by Girika, who had won the unenviable job, after slaying his parent

    • @Glimpses
      @Glimpses  6 місяців тому +1

      Yes! And there is a very interesting story that after becoming Dhamma Ashok, he went to the chamber to shut it down. As he entered, Girika said that now he will have to kill Ashok. Then Ashok said but Giriika himself had entered the chamber first and how was he still alive? With that logic, Ashok first put Girika to death and then got the chambers shut down

    sorry to say sir, but the video on ashoka is only based on buddhism's perspective. The chanda ashoka name was given by buddhist monk but without any eyewitness and proof, how could you say that his wrath burnt all his families and kingdom. As you also see the positive side of Ashoka so, how could you exaggerate the history of ashoka. Please show his positive side and other religion perspective also in your video. It might be more helpful to student like us. Thank you!

      Yes that's one theory! Because why would a king renounce violence only after all his main rivals and enemies were defeated! But in any case, he was the first king to advocate cessation of wars in History and his efforts in promoting Buddhism thereafter has impacted the course of World History dramatically, especially of the far east.
