The Battle of Kalinga was a military conflict fought in ancient India between the Maurya Empire, led by Emperor Ashoka, and the kingdom of Kalinga, led by Raja Anantha Padmanabha. Here are ten key things to know about the Battle of Kalinga:
  1. The battle took place in 261 BCE in the region of Kalinga, which is located on the eastern coast of India.
  2. The battle was fought between the Maurya Empire, which controlled most of the Indian subcontinent, and the kingdom of Kalinga, which was an independent state.
  3. The Maurya Empire was expanding its territory at the time and had recently conquered several neighboring states, including Kalinga.
  4. The kingdom of Kalinga resisted Maurya rule and revolted, leading to the outbreak of the Battle of Kalinga.
  5. The battle was fought over several months and involved a large number of soldiers on both sides.
  6. The Maurya Empire ultimately emerged victorious, but the battle was costly and resulted in many deaths and injuries on both sides.
  7. The victory at the Battle of Kalinga is considered to be one of the greatest military achievements of Emperor Ashoka, who is known for his military conquests and his promotion of Buddhism.
  8. The battle is significant in Indian history because it marked the end of Ashoka's military conquests and the beginning of his conversion to Buddhism.
  9. The Battle of Kalinga is mentioned in several ancient Indian texts, including the Ashokavadana and the Mahavamsa.
  10. The Kalinga War is also depicted in the Edicts of Ashoka, which are a series of inscriptions on rocks and pillars erected by Ashoka throughout the Maurya Empire.
कलिंग की लड़ाई प्राचीन भारत में सम्राट अशोक के नेतृत्व वाले मौर्य साम्राज्य और राजा अनंत पद्मनाभ के नेतृत्व वाले कलिंग राज्य के बीच लड़ा गया एक सैन्य संघर्ष था। कलिंग की लड़ाई के बारे में जानने के लिए यहां दस प्रमुख बातें हैं:
  1. ये युद्ध 261 ईसा पूर्व में कलिंग क्षेत्र में हुआ था, जो भारत के पूर्वी तट पर स्थित है।
  2. लड़ाई मौर्य साम्राज्य के बीच लड़ी गई थी, जिसने अधिकांश भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप और कलिंग साम्राज्य को नियंत्रित किया था, जो एक स्वतंत्र राज्य था।
  3. मौर्य साम्राज्य उस समय अपने क्षेत्र का विस्तार कर रहा था और उसने हाल ही में कलिंग सहित कई पड़ोसी राज्यों पर विजय प्राप्त की थी।
  4. कलिंग साम्राज्य ने मौर्य शासन का विरोध किया और विद्रोह किया, जिससे कलिंग की लड़ाई छिड़ गई।
  5. लड़ाई कई महीनों तक लड़ी गई और इसमें दोनों पक्षों के बड़ी संख्या में सैनिक शामिल हुए।
  6. मौर्य साम्राज्य अंततः विजयी हुआ, लेकिन लड़ाई महंगी थी और इसके परिणामस्वरूप दोनों पक्षों में कई मौतें और चोटें आईं।
  7. कलिंग की लड़ाई में जीत को सम्राट अशोक की सबसे बड़ी सैन्य उपलब्धियों में से एक माना जाता है, जो अपनी सैन्य विजय और बौद्ध धर्म के प्रचार के लिए जाने जाते हैं।
  8. यह लड़ाई भारतीय इतिहास में महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि इसने अशोक की सैन्य विजय के अंत और बौद्ध धर्म में उसके रूपांतरण की शुरुआत को चिह्नित किया।
  9. कलिंग की लड़ाई का उल्लेख कई प्राचीन भारतीय ग्रंथों में मिलता है, जिनमें अशोकवदना और महावंश शामिल हैं।
  10. कलिंग युद्ध को अशोक के शिलालेखों में भी दर्शाया गया है, जो मौर्य साम्राज्य में अशोक द्वारा निर्मित चट्टानों और स्तंभों पर शिलालेखों की एक श्रृंखला है।
