Message of Non-Violence & Peace through Keki. N. Daruwalla Poems

Through Keki. N. Daruwalla poem King speaks to his scribe. In this, we learn that Asoka was a great Emperor. He belonged to Mauryan Empire. He ruled over most part of India. He is also known for Kalinga war. This was one of the most deadliest battles ever fought in this world. In this battle millions of people were dead. After this war, he gave up his kingdom and he became non-violent. He asked his messengers to spread the message of peace all over the world. He asked them to build Stupas and write his message on it and the message should be dug deeply on it so that it can show how much he is hurt due to war. The coming future generations can read about the deadly Kalinga war and that they should learn from it not to repeat it ever because there is no use of war it's futile. As he had only conquered outside and the consequences were that he found widows wailing and children became orphans as well as there was a river of blood flowing between him and the common masses. Then he realized that one should conquer himself instead of conquering outside.
