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. الله أكبرMohammad Adil 08:35, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

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

BTW, what happened in 13th century A.D?

Discrepancy in number of casualties

The 10000 figure for Asoka's casualties given in the statistics table does not agree with 100000 number later in the text. Can someone please verify which (if either) of these numbers is correct?192.12.78.250 (talk) 23:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
