Asoka's commitment to spreading these policies across his empire is considered to be borne from his experience of the Kalinga war in Orissa, where he was horrified at the destruction caused by his own army. Do you think these rock edicts were a good way to popularise his beliefs?

Pictured here from the LSE Library archives is Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the first President of Bangladesh, meeting Peter Shore (Labour MP) at Heathrow Airport in 1973. They met on several occasions in due course, and Shore was very fond of him.
