Ashoka the Great's conversion to Buddhism: Was it a simple story of witnessing war's brutality?
Uncover the complexities by studying various sources -
1. Ashoka's Edicts: These inscriptions reveal remorse for war and a focus on Dhamma (righteousness), hinting at a shift in worldview.
2. Buddhist Texts: Early stories depict Ashoka's transformation – from "Chand-Ashoka" (Fierce Ashoka) to "Dhamma-Ashoka" (Ashoka the Righteous).
3. Later Chronicles: The Mahavamsa and Dipavamsa offer intriguing details about his conversion, but their historical accuracy is debated.
Did the Kalinga War act as a catalyst, or was Ashoka already drawn to Buddhist principles? We delve into the evidence and the ongoing debate surrounding this pivotal moment in Buddhist history.

Did the Mauryans conquer ALL of India? www.glimpsesanimations.com/post/expansion-of-maury…
There is ample evidence that the Mauryan Empire, a juggernaut of ancient India, stretched across a vast territory – from today's Bangladesh to modern-day Afghanistan. From the Himalayan foothills to the south… well, that's where the story gets interesting.
South India, during the Mauryan era, wasn't a political vacuum. Flourishing kingdoms like the Cholas, Pandyas, and Cheras held sway over the region. Evidence from Sangam literature, a rich collection of poems in Tamil, portrays these kingdoms as powerful entities with well-equipped armies. These established powers likely posed a significant challenge to any large-scale Mauryan invasion.
Evidence of Presence of Mauryan Empire in South India: A Complex Picture
Despite the presence of strong southern kingdoms, there are hints of Mauryan influence in the south.
'...He has gone on the path ... where the Mauryan newcomers came with their army with horses and fine chariots...' – Sangam Poem 'Akanānūru 251, Māmoolanār, Pālai Thinai
This poem pictures Mauryans as invaders.
'...he went on the path, where the Vadukars who have great enmity... and lead the Mauryas who desire to conquer the South, cutting into the rocks to let their chariot wheels with bright spokes roll...'
– Akanānūru 281, Māmoolanār, Pālai Thinai
Here too, the Mauryans are portrayed to be invading South India with the help of 'Vadukars'. The word "Vadugar" means "people from the north" in Tamil, so the Telugus and Badaga Kannadas were known as Vadugars
Geographical Challenges for Mauryan Expansion in South India
The geographical landscape of India might have also played a role. The mighty Vindhya mountains, Narmada river, Satpura ranges, vast Deccan Plateau covered with dense forests, and other rivers like Tapi, Godavari, and Krishna, could have presented logistical hurdles for establishing and maintaining a firm control over a distant territory.
Glimpses Studio is making a new series on Sangam Literature to bring its poem to life! Head out to our website to support the project

Prince Salim, thanks to the movie Mughal-e-Azam, most of us know about the legendary (possibly fictional) affair between Prince Salim, Akbar's son, and Anarkali. But Salim, who later became Emperor Jahangir, had an unusual love story with Noor Jahan.
We are bringing out a video, an extension to our ongoing series 'Aurangzeb & Dara Shukoh' that will be throwing some light on the lives of Jahangir & Noor Jahan.
Stay tuned! Let us know what else you would like to know more related to the animations that we have posted!
