Asoka: 269B.C -232 B.C. Brought empire to height of its power + united Military power He embraced Buddhism after witnessing the mass deaths of the war of Kalinga Tolerance “All faiths deserve to be honored for one reason or another” Promoted Buddhism spread to missionaries to China and Southeast Asia = diffusion – built stupas

Asoka Asoka's Major Rock Edict at Junagadh contains inscriptions by Asoka Asoka The Edicts of Ashoka are a collection of 33 inscriptions on the Pillars of Ashoka, as well as boulders and cave walls, made by the Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan dynasty during his reign from 269 BCE to 231 BCE. These inscriptions are dispersed throughout the areas of modern-day Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan and represent the first tangible evidence of Buddhism. The edicts describe in detail the first wide expansion of Buddhism through the sponsorship of one of the most powerful kings of Indian history. Sanchi Gate and Stupa, built at time of Asoka

Mongol Invasion 1398 – Tamerlane – Destroyed and left Timur the Lame Destroyed and left “The lightning speed with which Tamerlane’s armies struck Delhi was prompted by their desire to escape the stench of rotting corpses they were leaving behind them. Sultans back in power for short time but fragmented

Incompatibilities BETWEEN ISLAM AND HINDUISM Polytheistic -worship many gods, caste system born into the religion- no idea of conversion Diet cow is sacred Monotheistic - worship one God all people are seen as equal under the eyes of God dietary restrictions proselytizers-seek to convert others Creedal - statement of beliefs
