I agree that Ashoka was barbaric to Conquer other nations but not in the name of religion.He did not break their Worship places and not behead their religious leaders like Guru Teg Bahadur.If you pray 5 Times a day that doesnt give you the right to break any worship place or behaed any religious leader who is not accepting to accept Islam. Secondly Ashoka after the Kalinga War was so repentant on his action that he started crying after war accepted Budhdhism spread the message of Truth as he constructed the Shanti Stupa in Kalinga and he went even to the extent that he changed his name from "Chhandashoka" to "Dhammashoka". So it is an insult to compare a demon like aurangazed to Ashoka who recreated his image as messiah of Tolerance and peace and helped the Buddhist missionaries financially to spead the word of truth and peace.Kindly read the Ashokan Scriptures you will find that it will be a day dream for Muslims to become so HUMANE.
