The edicts are inscribed on rocks and pillars throughout the Indian subcontinent, and they provide a valuable insight into Ashoka&#8217;s reign and his policies.<\/p>\n<p>Edict XIII is one of the most famous of the Minor Rock Edicts. It describes Ashoka&#8217;s conquest of Kalinga, and his subsequent remorse over the bloodshed that it caused. In the edict, Ashoka states that he &#8220;conquered the Kalingas&#8221; and that &#8220;100,000 people were killed, 150,000 were taken prisoner, and many more died from famine and disease.&#8221; He goes on to say that &#8220;after the conquest of Kalinga, I felt remorse.&#8221; He then describes his conversion to Buddhism and his commitment to non-violence.<\/p>\n<p>Edict XIII is a powerful and moving document that provides a unique glimpse into the mind of one of history&#8217;s most influential rulers. It is a reminder of the human cost of war, and of the importance of peace and compassion.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they do not describe the Conquest of Kalinga by Ashoka. Option B, No. X, is about Ashoka&#8217;s policy of non-violence. Option C, No. XI, is about Ashoka&#8217;s commitment to social welfare. Option D, No. XII, is about Ashoka&#8217;s promotion of Buddhism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on
