== Glorified == 

 I have done significant research on Ashoka, however, and I think that this article glorifies him. 

 He had a second motive in promoting peace in his kingdom: he was worried about a rebellion. He had seen small-scale revolts when he was young, and he controlled a giant kingdom  it was in his best interests to keep control. 

 Ashoka was not a complete vegetarian. He was self-serving in the names he took, and the edicts he commissioned as monuments to his peaceful ways. He was intolerant of religions other than his own.

 I know this goes against what a lot of people believe in deeply, and I don't have the expertise to go around editing the article myself. It's just something I think we should watch for. 

 (Keep in mind that I am agnostic and have no religious bias.)
