Explanation:

Asoka was also called "Ashoka." He's regarded as Mauryan dynasty's (India) last emperor. On his reign, he realized how severe wars affected his people. He then took a vow to abandon armed conquest and preached the "dharma" to people in order for them to gain inner peace and to be relieved of their sufferings. It was at this time that he came to know Buddhism and fell passionate about it. He appointed high officers who were given the duty to further reach out to the communities. In this sense, he helped popularized the religion in India. It spread out and successfully gained more followers.
