The first emperor, Chandragupta Maurya, grew up in a village of peacock farmers. His grandson Ashoka would renounce war and strive for peace. Indians still call him Ashoka the Great and regard him as one of historys finest rulers. The Maurya Empire was ruled by kings who allowed their ministers to disagree with them.
