He was a brutal leader, which revolted many
Explanation:
Ashoka began his rule with brutal conquests. He was regarded as ruthless, which created an image of blood-thirsty ruler. History has noted that after a particularly bloody march to the Kalinga province of India, during which about 50,000 people were massacred, Ashoka experienced a kind of spiritual change. This change was first and foremost a result of Asoka's familiarity with Buddhist teaching, which advocates non-violence and compassion for all sentient beings.
