He defeated the Kalinga kingdom in 261 BCE, and his empire eventually included most of the Indian subcontinent. However, Ashoka was deeply troubled by the bloodshed and suffering that his conquests caused. After the Kalinga War, he renounced violence and adopted Buddhism. He promoted Buddhism throughout his empire, and he built many Buddhist stupas and monasteries.<\/p>\n<p>Ashoka also made efforts to improve the welfare of his subjects. He built hospitals, roads, and wells. He also established a system of justice that was fair and impartial.
