Over two thousand years ago, an Indian monarch spoke of the duties of a king. He saw himself as the father of his people, working ceaselessly for their welfare. Then at a time when conquerors were admired, he gave up war and chose the path of peace. There have been few monarchs in the world like Ashoka,the Mauryan king who rules over India's first empire. After a devastating war, he became a Buddhist and spread the words of the Buddha across the land. Then he carved his thoughts on rocks and pillars for posterity. Ashoka's wise and compassionate voice speaks to us across the centuries and his words are relevant even today.

This is the story of Ashoka, man of peace and one of the greatest kings India has ever seen.
