Ashoka invaded Kalinga in 261 B.C. In Kalinga War, 100,000 people died, 150,000 were wounded and made prisoners of war. The sight of such a carnage and massacre of human lives, and the sufferings of the wounded made a deep impression on Ashoka's mind. The unhappiness of the women and the children made him very sad and unhappy. He vowed never to make a war again.

He decided to devote his life to the spread of Dharma. Dharmavijaya, and not Digvijaya (victory in all directions), became the goal of Ashoka's life.

He was the first emperor in the history of the world to give up war after victory. Thus, the Kalinga War became a turning point in Ashoka's life.

He told his people to follow the path of nonviolence.
