Over two thousand years ago King Asoka ruled India. He made an empire richer and an army more powerful than ever before. After the first war he wages, King Asoka sickens at the death and devastation he sees all along his homeward journey. So moved, he gives up his army, resolves to live at peace with all and does so. Saying justice, peace and love must go on forever like a wheel, he made the wheel his royal symbol. Throughout the centuries this wheel of King Asoka, still seen on the flag of India, has inspired all to live as did this great king of India-in peace and love.
