Ashoka, also spelled Aśoka, (died 238? BCE, India), last major emperor of the Mauryan dynasty of India. His vigorous patronage of Buddhism during his reign (c. 265–238 BCE; also given as c. 273–232 BCE) furthered the expansion of that religion throughout India. Following his successful but bloody conquest of the Kalinga country on the east coast, Ashoka renounced armed conquest and adopted a policy that he called “conquest by dharma” (i.e., by principles of right life).

TOP QUESTIONS

Explanation:In order to gain wide publicity for his teachings and his work, Ashoka made them known by means of oral announcements and by engravings on rocks and pillars at suitable sites. These inscriptions—the rock edicts and pillar edicts (e.g., the lion capital of the pillar found at Sarnath, which has become India’s national emblem), mostly dated in various years of his reign—contain statements regarding his thoughts and actions and provide information on his life and acts. His utterances rang of frankness and sincerity.

According to his own accounts, Ashoka conquered the Kalinga country (modern Orissa state) in the eighth year of his reign. The sufferings that the war inflicted on the defeated people moved him to such remorse that he renounced armed conquests. It was at this time that he came in touch with Buddhism and adopted it. Under its influence and prompted by his own dynamic temperament, he resolved to live according to, and preach, the dharma and to serve his subjects and all humanity.

shoka repeatedly declared that he understood dharma to be the energetic practice of the sociomoral virtues of honesty, truthfulness, compassion, mercifulness, benevolence, nonviolence, considerate behaviour toward all, “little sin and many good deeds,” nonextravagance, nonacquisitiveness, and noninjury to animals. He spoke of no particular mode of religious creed or worship, nor of any philosophical doctrines. He spoke of Buddhism only to his coreligionists and not to others.

Write 10-15 sentences about Novruz holiday<br> And where is celebrate this holiday?
kupik [55]

The Novruz, also spelled Nowruz, is a national, international and ethnic holiday. The holiday is celebrated by people mostly living on the Eurasian continent. Countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Syria, Turkey, Georgia, Albania, Iraq, Russia, and Uzbekistan all have a significant population that celebrate Novruz. Novruz is celebrated annually on March 19, 20, or 21. This day marks the Spring Equinox- the day when the equator passes through the Sun’s center. This occurrence marks the beginning of the Iranian New Year (the first day of the first month Farvardin). Novruz has an Iranian origin rooted in the Zoroastrian religion.

According to the epic poem Shahnameh, Novruz was founded by the Iranian king Jamshid who saves all living things from a deadly winter. Novruz customs include cleaning the home, wearing your best clothing, buying clothes for the new year, gathering around the Haft sin table to eat, and Amu Nowruz bringing gifts for children.

Some social analysts believe that college students relate better to commercials, advertising culture, and social media than they
Vlad1618 [11]

I believe that there may be a certain truth in that statement, but in any case we learned to use our means of support to study and interact with each other on society's issues, issues such as racism and feminism are on the agenda throughout the social network, both for demystifying the subject as for it to become more understood and more adaptable for people, in fact young people relate better to subjects posted on social media but that does not mean that we cannot get into various other aspects of subjects when using this support platform.
