Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ashoka was also known as Ashoka the Great. Ashoka ruled the entire Indian subcontinent (except parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala) from 268 B.C.E to 232 B.C.E. Ashoka expanded the empire of Chandragupta Maurya. It expanded from present-day Bangladesh in the east to Afghanistan in the west.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chandragupta Maurya’s grandson Ashoka (Aśoka) (ca 304–233 B.C.) took the Mauryan Empire to its greatest geographical extent and its full height of power. Yet his remarkable transformation of the kingdom came not through the intense violence that marked his early reign.
