Conquering Kalinga helped the economy of Asoka's empire by expanding its territorial control and increasing its access to valuable resources such as minerals, forests, and agricultural land. The annexation of Kalinga also brought in additional tax revenue and tribute, further bolstering the empire's financial resources. Additionally, the integration of Kalinga into the empire's trade networks likely facilitated the exchange of goods and services, stimulating economic activity across the region.
asoka is very stupid and i dont know if you are asking this , sorry (:
Ashoka was a great king of the Maurya dynasty who ruled a large empire in the Indian subcontinent roughly in the 3rd century BC. Among the many violent wars he fought, the most famous is the war of Kalinga, which Ashoka won but only after immense violence and bloodshed. The war of Kalinga moved Asoka so much, he subsequently gave up violence and converted to Buddhism. He is subsequently known for building many Buddhist structures and spreading the religion in and out of the subcontinent. Among the structures he commissioned is an emblem which is now the official Emblem of India.
a great empire
imagine if Alexander had met asoka while his conquest in east.Alexander could have failed,such was the brutal strength of asoka's army,he killed 100000 infantry in the war of kalinga.which is gigantic in an European scale.the numbers r simply overwhelming,remember Alexander won wars with intelligent tactics rather than numbers,and asoka was a no less tactician,and he had a huge army several folds greater than that of Alexander,and as an emperor,as a humanbeing,asoka exceeds everyone else.
