      Kaiser Ashoka wird als eine der bedeutendsten Persönlichkeiten Südasiens dargestellt, dessen Herrschaft über ein riesiges und vielfältiges Reich geprägt war von dem Streben nach Einheit und moralischer Ordnung. Durch die Förderung des Dharma versuchte er, Konflikte zu vermeiden und eine neue Ethik zu etablieren, die sowohl in seinem Reich als auch international Wirkung zeigen sollte. Patrick Olivelle nutzt Ashokas Inschriften sowie Kunst und Architektur, um das Leben und die Philosophie dieses außergewöhnlichen Herrschers zu beleuchten und zwischen Mythos und Geschichte zu unterscheiden.
