Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Based on Sri Lankan tradition, some scholars, such as Eggermont, believe Ashoka converted to Buddhism before the Kalinga war. Critics of this theory argue that if Ashoka were already a Buddhist, he would not have waged the violent Kalinga War.
Detailed explanation-2: -The furious Ruler Ashoka was changed into a calm and peaceful emperor after the bloody war with Kalinga, and he became a Buddhist patron. According to A. L. Basham, a notable Indologist, Ashoka’s personal faith became Buddhism after the Kalinga War, if not earlier.
