Shamrat Ashoke by Dwoipayon

Samrat Ashoka is one of the most celebrated rulers in the History of India. Life of this great Mauryan  emperor has been documented many times. But what makes him more enigmatic is the transformation he went through from being a power hungry ruler to an emperor who preached Buddhism  throughout the south Asia. During his accession to the throne Ashoka killed his brothers in cold blood, during the war of Kalinga he wiped out a province brutally, killing thousands, turning the rivers red with human blood. But this war, the subsequent remorse transformed him .

 

This story is present in every history book, but what Dwipayan tried to portray in his book is what lied beneath the transformation, is it only the brutality of war, or some more deep rooted cause, how was the "best ruler world has seen" as a normal human being, without the power of his dynasty? In a brilliantly written historical fiction, these are the questions the author tried to answer here.
