Why did Asoka convert to Buddhism?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Akimi4 [234]4 years ago
3 0
Hough Ashoka emerged victorious at the end of war seizing the territory of Kalinga, the sight of the battlefield made his heart break with shame, guilt and disgust. It is said that the battle was so furious that the waters of River Daya turned red with the blood of the slain soldiers and civilians. The sight of numerous corpses lying strewn across the battlefield made his heart wrench. He felt sick inside. The battle ground looked like a graveyard with bodies of not just soldiers but men, women and children. He saw young children crying over the bodies of their dead parents, women crying over the bodies of their dead husbands, mothers crying over the loss of a child. This made him heartbroken and he made a pledge to never ever fight a battle again. To seek solace, he converted to Buddhism.

Why is compromise an important part of democracy?
Marta_Voda [28]

Compromise is very important to a democracy because in a democracy the government is ran by the people or at least in a direct democracy its a little different for a representative democracy. Anyway compromise is important because if half of the country disagrees with the policy and the other half does politicians will typically lean towards making both sides happy with a compromise.
