Ashoka V/S Sushumna - The Battle Of Throne | Rakkt | FULL EPISODE | Ancient History | Epic

The story of Sushumna’s assassination by his half-brother, Ashoka, is a story from one of the largest empire in Indian history, The Mauryan Empire founded by Chandragupta Maurya in 321 BC. Chandragupta’s legacy of expanding the kingdom was taken over by his son Bindusara who spread the Kingdom to the southern part of India. He had two well-known sons, Sushumna and Ashoka. Learning from his grandfather, Ashoka mastered the Kshatriya military training and became a strong general and a shrewd statesman whereas Sushumna lacked military prowess. Bindusara though, was in favour of Sushumna over Ashoka. As Bindusara grew closer to his death bed, the drum rolls of warfare between his sons, the royal princes next in line to the throne, rose to a cruel peak. Ashoka, due to his capability was supported by the council of ministers and crowned the king. Sushumna, who was away on a campaign was enraged by the news, and he conspired to kill Ashoka’s pregnant wife, but unfortunately Ashoka’s mother is killed in a blunder. Fierce Ashoka was now determined to avenge his mother’s death and he made a plan with his minister to assassinate Sushumna. Finally, Sushumna was killed and Ashoka was coroneted as the king. Ashoka’s ruthlessness was seen later when he went on to capture Kalinga soon after which he had a change of heart and turned towards Buddhism.
