The Emperor Ashoka, who ruled in India in the 3rd century B.C.E., is one of the most intriguing figures in world history. In an era of autocratic monarchies, he attempted to use moral persuasion, rather than sheer force, to command his subjects’ respect and obedience. This five-lesson unit centers on Ashoka’s fascinating career, but it also has a unifying theme: What makes a political leader legitimate?
