One thing I didn't one thing that how did Bindusar chose Sushim as his Successor. Bindusar had, from beginning, maintained that winning King Chandragupta's sword would not make anyone capable of being successor.

Apart from that, he is very well aware about Sushim's anger and attitude problem. He himself asked chanakya to guide his children as he did for his father and him.

But all of sudden, when Sushim won, bindusar announced Sushim as his successor and was so happy that he didnt even gave chance to Chanakya.


But luckily Chanakya intervened on the right time and stopped this ceremony.Now hope Bindusar doesnt think of making Sushim his successor again.

Wonder if Charumitra had a hand in it. The way her diatribe of calming Samrat's temper went, it feels as if her dark magic has a role.

I think from the very beginning Bindusar had wanted Sushim to be the king. He is a bit biased towards him as he is the eldest child.
But now I think he will see sense.
