Who are the famous historical figures in India?
1. Ashoka (reigned from 272 BC to 242 BC) was the third monarch of the Peacock Dynasty. He once established the largest empire in ancient India, covering almost the whole South Asian subcontinent. There are many vivid stories about him in several Chinese-translated Buddhist scriptures such as Ashoka Sutra. He won the throne by killing his brother in a fierce power struggle, and then in 260 BC (for example, in 262 BC), he launched a cruel war to conquer Guo Jia, Ling Jie, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties.

The catastrophe brought him a heavy mental burden, which finally made him repent and decided to change to a peaceful national policy and preach the "true law." The "orthodox law" takes doing less injustice, doing more good, being compassionate, generous, sincere and pure as its main theme, which embodies the excellent religious morality at that time. In the middle of his administration, he converted to Buddhism.

Ashoka practiced by himself, met religious leaders of different factions extensively and gave alms to them. He even dug a hole for the orthodox school, which was denounced by Buddhism as a "vicious heresy", for its use. His policy of upholding justice has brought 30 years of peace to the Indian society that has experienced hundreds of years of turmoil. The class contradictions and religious contradictions have been significantly reduced, and the people have been able to recuperate and improve their lives in stability.

His poems are mainly written in Bengali, where his poems are very popular. Tagore's poems are used in the national anthems of India and Bangladesh. ?

Tagore supported the Indian independence movement in the early days, but later alienated it. In order to protest against the 19 19 Zalenwala Garden tragedy, he refused the knighthood conferred by the British king, and he was the first person to refuse the honor conferred by the British king. Tagore expressed his despair and grief over the war in his poems. He hoped that all people could live in a perfect and peaceful world. ?

Tagore traveled many times, which made him understand many different cultures and the differences between them. His description of eastern and western cultures is by far the most delicate of its kind.

3. Akbar (reigned from 1556 to 1605) was the third generation monarch of the Mughal dynasty. The dynasty flourished under his rule. When it comes to the martial arts of Wenzhi, from the establishment of the Sultanate of Delhi in the early13rd century to the complete downfall of the Mughal dynasty in the mid19th century, no Muslim ruler was second to none for more than 600 years. His success is mainly the result of his enlightened policy.

He voluntarily gave up the prejudice of personal belief and sincerely invited religious scholars from all walks of life to his court to listen to their sermons. He also often called leaders of different sects to debate and study various religious and social issues, so as to find out similarities and differences, eliminate misunderstandings, and then get rid of religious contradictions and achieve harmony in social life. He treats Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism or Christianity equally, even atheists.

As concrete measures, he abolished the poll tax and hajj tax on non-Muslims, allowed all religions to build temples and preach freely, and allowed those who were forced to convert to Islam to restore their original beliefs without interference. Government jobs are open to everyone, no matter where they live. Every major non-Islamic festival, the palace also holds grand celebrations like the people. 1579 On June 22nd, Akbar declared the supreme sovereignty over all issues of Islam, further integrating the emperor and the Pope.

1582, he founded a new organization called "Holy Church". It is a monotheistic religion with pantheism, trying to melt all the beliefs in India at that time. His attempt finally failed because of his few followers, but his extensive religious tolerance policy still achieved great success, thus bringing universal harmony and prosperity to Indian society.
