Event Date: October 18, 2026 (5PM)

At a time of deepening division and growing questions about the exercise of power, conversations about ethical leadership feel especially urgent. More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Ashoka grappled with questions that remain strikingly relevant: How should leaders wield power responsibly? How can diverse communities coexist? What do we owe one another in a pluralistic society?
Join Kalapriya for a timely conversation exploring what Ashoka’s legacy can teach us about leadership, responsibility, and living together across differences, and why these ancient questions matter now.
