Chanakya and Acharya Ajay discussing divisive politics

Acharya Ajay, a childhood friend of Chanakya, narrates the situation in Pataliputra (capital of Magadha Empire). He narrates how the administrators exploit the divisions in the society. How difference in the means and ends in life causes social disharmony and ultimately the fall from grace. There is also mention of something similar to brain drain (although for reason different from today's). I felt these issues are relevant even in today's world, if understood the right way.

there is not too much of difference in present India in comparison to what was happening in patliputra. i really regret the fact that nowadays we dun get to see such serials with profound vision and research. I would really like Doordarshan or any of the Commercial channels to resurrect these lost treasures. And i'm also sure that it will also be a commercially fruitful venture.

Now justifying secularism is the only greatest thing left. Why? The British did brought destruction to Bharat and worked as an agent to donate the piece of land called Pakisthan. But Islam did bring only destruction. Both the foregn religions could intrude Bharat because of lacking of Dharmacharan in us. Now anything different/foreign is glamour.

@mrsbharatjosh - Great analogy there. We needed another Chanakya and we had Sardar Patel who tried to unite India to some point but wasn't as effective as Chanakya. Patel was up against Nehru and other people who were opportunistic but not effective.
