About this ebook

Ashoka, perhaps the greatest ruler of the Maurya dynasty, ruled India from 273 BC to 232 BC. His vast Empire extended beyond India to Afghanistan and Nepal. Son of King Bindusara, Ashoka had to fight with his brothers to ascend the throne, but he proved to be an efficient ruler and worked for the betterment of his subjects. The quest for expanding the Empire resulted in the kalinga War which became the turning point of his life and the destruction he saw, led him to renounce violence.

This title narrates the enchanting story of this great ruler who spread the message of 'Buddhism', engraved on rocks and pillars across his Empire and his emblem of four-lions on one of those pillars is Iindia's official seal today. The middle wheel on the national flag is also called the Ashoka Chakra. 

This is part of the spectacular WILCO PICTURE LIBRARY (WPL), slated to be a 500 plus titles series, pioneering the innovative way of enlightening on various subjects in a fun-filled way via a comic format artwork, full of colorful illustrations along with simple but interesting narration and dialogues, thereby making story-telling and enjoyable experience.
