Today (April 17) is the 2285th birth anniversary of the Emperor Ashoka, greatest emperor that India has known. After the murderous carnage of the Kalinga war he became a Buddhist and foreswore slaughter from then on. He established a beneficient empire in which the poor were taken care of and food and capital were provided, an Ideal Buddhist-type kingdom. We salute his memory!
