Some true facts on Ashoka.


Ashoka was not known as Samrat Ashoka. Rather He was popular as Chandashoka or Chandal Ashoka during his rule. He was not even a legitimate heir to Bindhusara. In 274 BCE when King died, Sushma who was crown prince was on mission to North West borders.


When he returned, Ashoka had killed 99 of his brothers and claimed the throne. Leftist historians claim that he was sad after the Kalinga war and accepted Buddhism and Ahimsa. The fact is: He had accepted Buddhism way earlier than the Kalinga War.


The inscriptions which are cited incompletely to whitewash his demonic personality actually reads, "I am sad that you all had to die. But dare you to cross my ways and I will kill you again.

" He had killed 18000 Ajivikas in Bengal years after the Kalinga War".

What does this all tell us? Our History was presented in a very wrong way and we all have been reading the wrong history all these days.
