Explanation:

The Mauryan India emperor in the year 261 BC, Ashoka the Great, embarked on a campaign to add the state of Kalinga to his empire.

In the battle that ensued, losses on both sides were so massive that the blood spilled turned the Daya River red. Ashoka was so shaken and moved by this scene that he vowed to never use violence to increase his empire again.

In line with this new stance, Ashoka decided to promote the teachings of Buddhism in the Mauryan empire as they embodied peace and nonviolence. He even sent Buddhist missionaries to other nations.
