Why Ashoka didn’t disbanded his army ?
Many historians has written Ashoka was a pacifist ruler in his later years and in fact, after adopting Buddhism.
So, the adoption of Buddhism by Ashoka is hidden with many mysteries. Some historians say it was before the Kalinga war and many say after the Kalinga war, a Buddhist monk named Upgupta converted him into Buddhism…
Ashoka was the grandson of Mauryan king Chandraputa I guided by Chanakya. He was shrewd enough to know that after disbanding the army, we could not be able to rule the huge empire.
After all, he was a great ruler, so wise too and never disbanded the army.
