All kings had war as state policy... Ashoka was the only king in recorded history to preach peace..
India is an awesome special country we dont need run of the mill conquerors we need greatest of the great that is Asoka...
Just like Ashoka civilized Sri Lnaka then .. I hope Modi does it again now and peach humanity and peaceful coexistence to them again...
Dude, I am a Buddhist and I am telling you, what Ashoka preached was a more unedited version of Gandhian hypocrisy. It was not Buddhism.
Buddhism preaches peace for the people as a whole but it doesn't mean you pussy out when a war against your people breaks out. This is what this JNU jholawala NCERT has been teaching Indian kids for decades.
We have similar principles to you Hindus when it comes to national administration. A king's duty is to bring peace to his people through administration and good governance. This also includes a strong self-defense policy which India should have. We should not attack first but retaliate any attack with double the brutality.
Please don't confuse suicidal nihilism that Ashoka and Gandhi preached to weaken Indians with Buddhism which actually added another beautiful color to the already rich Hindu culture of India.
