However, in 232 BC, Ashoka died with the title of Protector King, and this is the end of Ashoka.
In the Indian film "Ashoka" filmed in 2001, ashoka's life was introduced in detail, and the ending of Ashoka also caused many viewers to sigh. In the movie, Ashoka is initially the prince of the Peacock Kingdom, and although Ashoka is not the eldest son, Ashoka's father likes Ashoka very much. Ashoka's mother felt that the people in the palace were sinister, so she suggested that her son go on a long trip, so Ashoka began his ascetic life.
On the way to The Journey of Ashoka, Ashoka met his favorite woman, this person is Kavaci, Kavachi and Ashoka, are the royal children who fled the palace because of the palace coup, Ashoka fell in love with Kavachi at first sight, and took the initiative to be Kavachi's flower messenger, the two became long-term love, they became sweet lovers.

What is the relationship between Ashoka and Shakyamuni in ancient India
When it comes to the relationship between Ashoka and Shakyamuni, there are many inextricable things that slowly appear. Buddha Shakyamuni was a figure from 565 BC, and there was a lot of time difference between him and Ashoka, so they didn't have any substantive connection, and the connection between them was mainly in Buddhism.
Shakyamuni was born in ancient India, under the Himalayas, and the meaning of his name is "sage of the Shakya people". The reason why he said this is because since he was born, he has been told that there will be great achievements in the future, so he gave this name, and after Shakyamuni grew up, he really had compassion for the world as prophesied, and even did not see the world suffering a little, and then met a monk, and at that time Shakyamuni felt that when he was a monk, there would definitely be no dispute with the world and there would be no pain. After that, he began to become a monk, and after a slow ascetic practice, he began to promote Buddhism everywhere until his death, at the age of 80.
And Ashoka was also influenced by Buddhism since childhood, but also with Shakyamuni almost the same kindness, can not see the killing, the biggest connection between them is Buddhism, according to legend, when Ashoka built the Buddha Stupa got the Buddha's help from Buddhism at that time, Ashoka also fasted and bathed, removed distractions, and then did a series of things are in the faith and propaganda of Buddhism, history affectionately called Ashoka is the rebirth of Shakyamuni, in the subsequent battle, when Ashoka unified India, there was no further expansion of land, It is because they cannot see too much killing, so they do not continue to conquer and increase the land, and begin to manage their own dynasty, and in the subsequent management, they also implement the policy of charity and treatment of others, adhere to the principle of avoiding killing, and get the unanimous praise of the people.
The time when Ashoka Ayuh unified India
Ashoka is the third generation of Indian monarchs, to say that Ashoka unified India time, we have to start from the history of India, India has experienced several changes of monarchs, Ashoka as the third generation is also the greatest monarch of India, not only a proof of his strength, but also a great contribution to India's economic development and national stability, now let's talk about how Ashoka unified India and Ashoka unified India.
Ashoka gradually ruled all of India through his own force in the beginning, and in 261 he had completed his rule of India, but not all of it, and the situation was very tragic, in the last battle, 150,000 people were captured, 100,000 people were killed, and the number of dead and wounded was innumerable. After that, except for Mysore at that time, it was already under the rule of Ashoka. In the process of ruling India, legend has it that Ashoka saw too many killings, so immediately after reunification, he stopped territorial expansion, stopped war, and began to work hard to strengthen his territorial management and people's stability.
Ashoka's policy was also very correct, and after the unification of India began to promote Buddhism in India, for the current India, India is still the majority of Buddhists, it is because of Ashoka's promotion that Buddhism has become a world-class religion. Compared with other rulers, Ashoka was more humane and tolerant, and under the impetus of Buddhism, Ashoka has always emphasized a system of non-violence and tolerance. It was because of this that Ashoka ruled India for 41 years with the support of the Indian people.
