Ashoka the Great is one of India's most famous kings, although for centuries he was all but forgotten. Can an emperor be both conqueror and holy man? And did Ashoka start a secret society in India in order to preserve powerful knowledge? Ashoka was a remarkable military leader and conqueror. After a war in which the death toll was enormous, it's said that Ashoka converted to Buddhism, sent missionaries to foreign lands and attempted to unite an empire not by violence but in shared belief in a better way. There are many interpretations, legends and myth around Ashoka. This retelling of the life of Ashoka covers some of the most famous events and legends of his life, including the question of The Nine Unknown.
