One of the greatest wars in the recorded history of ancient India was fought in Kalinga, present day Odisha when the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka invaded and defeated the reigning monarch from the Nanda dynasty. The resulting carnage famously moved Ashoka to renounce war and all forms of violence and convert to Buddhism. The present day state of Odisha has a varying topography, with a plateau in the north, with a line of hills or Ghats in the east, a central tract of plateaus and basins, and costal plains in the northeast, south-west and the centre of the state. About three-fifths of the state’s population works in agriculture and the state is foremost in the country in the production of chromite, bauxite, manganese ore, graphite and nickel ore.
