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.

A central sociological principle is that a nation's education system reflects its culture.
NNADVOKAT [17]
True. A central sociological principle is that a nation's education system reflects its culture. 

The way kids learn in school is directly related to their upbringing. Since each culture varies, there is reason to believe that the way each child learns, is taught and what they are taught about will vary too. Cultures differ with what is important to them and by ranking whats important, those importances are taught.

Nepal is declared as a secular country write its .importance​
Sholpan [36]

Secular countries are countries that give their citizens the right to practice & follow whatever religion they want.

This is of huge importance as now people in Nepal no longer have to follow one religion against their choice. They can also now not practice any religion & still be treated equally without any discrimination.

This declaration gives people more freedom, power & trust in their government & helps people to fight against prejudice & majoritarinism of any one religion.
