strength..........
600,000 infantry ???? are you serious ?
were they logistically capable to concentrate 600,000 men ? after u dont just gather men for fighting u have to feed them as well ! and sustaining 600,000 standing army is seriously a blind trust on primary sources, that were famous for exaggerations.
so is there any one to take notice of it ? or u guys happy with fantacy size of kalinga troops !
keep in mind that before 13th century A.D concentrating troops more then 150,000 was logistically impossible, although any nation could posses a lot more "fighting people" but to concentrate them and organize them as an army was a totally different task.

You seem to be disregarding the fact that Kalinga was fighting in its own territory.Also, it is very likely that these were militia rather than well trained soldiers.Also, check Battle of Changping
one of the most just ruler (sic) that India etc...
The Contributor of this paragraph is so enamored with the subject that it's wholly unacceptable to be left as it stands. This section of the article needs a serious rewrite with attention to report facts rather than the perceptions of a biased writer. If this is to be a credible source for the preservation of knowledge rather than a cesspool ruled by libel and editorializing then articles such as this can not be deemed acceptable for public consumption. I recommend a complete rewrite to be undertaken by someone with more knowledge on the subject than I posses, and who shares my passion for the accurate dissemination of information.
