Ashoka was at first disposed to follow the example of his father and grandfather and complete the conquest of the Indian Peninsula. He invaded Kalinga (335 B.C.), a country on the east coast of Madras. He was successful in his military operations. He was so disgusted by the cruelty and horror of war that he renounced it. He would have no more of it. He adopted the peaceful doctrine of Buddhism and declared that henceforth the conquest should be the conquest of religion. His reign for eight and twenty years was one of the brightest interludes in the troubled history of mankind. He organized a great digging of wells in India and the planting of trees for shade.
