To extend the boundaries of his empire waged Asoka one of the bloodiest wars India has ever seen with the neighbouring kingdom of Kalinga, leaving it ravaged and devastated. Confronted by the Asoka was overcome by remorse. He renounced the path of war and dedicated his life to spreading the light of Budddhism across the world.
ASOKA is a journey: the transformation of a youth from a beloved son to an obsessive romantic. From a man embittered by betrayal to a ruthless warrior consumed ambition from a conqueror of lands to a conqueror of self.
