Public outcry against Chandra

I am truly amazed at the attitude of the Praja ... the wonderful citizens of Magadh.
The public of that era shouts slogans to uproot a Samrat !!!!!

The same public who tolerated the tyrant Padmanand,
the same public who suffered all atrocities of the cruel King's reign , not just for a year or two, for so long, as long as Nandini's age,
the public who did not have the courage to speak a word (and probably get killed) in front of Padmanand,
Now have the guts to outrageously approach the Palace doors in huge groups shouting slogans against Chandragupta Maurya ??!!!!!


Hum yavni Mukhya maharani nahi sahenge, nahi sahenge...
Apne bhi maharani Nandini se pratishodh lene ke liye vivah kiya?
Apne maharani Nandini ko jeev samadhi kyon diya?
Apne aapke SIL ko molest kiya?
Aapke judgement hum accept nahi karenge...


Since when did Praja have the guts to shout slogans, raise questions against a King's wise judgements? That too, in 4th century ?
If the public outcry could dethrone a King or malign his reputation or desist him from passing a judgment , why were they silently experiencing the torture of Padmanand till then ?

Public unrest and other such riots could have been brought to the notice of Chanakya, even before the actual public decide to make a morcha to the Palace . Such was his spy network during those days.


Was CGM so soft and naive a King that anyone and everyone could raise a finger at him ? A Samrat, first of his kind, to unite most kingdoms, and brought almost the entire India under one rule, was so strong with his administrative skills and a political strategist .

The recent episodes (molestation case against Chandra, Chanakya acting like a Sauten trying to separate the King from his wives etc.), seem to be maligning the reputation of Chandragupta Maurya and Chanakya and our Indian history as well. Disappointing.

This was the same thing I was wondering . They have been going through all the aristocracy all these years in the hands of nandh and none is to question him but when comes to Chandra anyone can question him.

Sangeeta I will give my reason for this apparently conflicting and contradictory behavior patterns of the general populace. The first is a tyrant, the second is a benovlent ruler. The common people silently bear all the atrocities of one, while with the other they jump the gun and protest at the slightest opportunity. I think there are two factors at work here:

Firstly, I feel that the populace which never spoke before Padmanand out of fear, exhibits such opposite behavior with Chandra because they have experienced freedom and emancipation just now and do not exactly know what to do with these empowering factors and misuse their new-found powers in the wrong channels like revolt against the king for the most flimsy reasons which are of no concern to them.

Secondly, this mob mentality of Magadh Praja is a case of the once bitten twice shy. They allowed a tyrant to rule over them and suffered greatly as a result. So they mistrust any king who rules over them. So when a slightest something that happens to remind them of the previous king or his excesses happens, they protest immediately under the impression that if they allow this sort of thing to grow, a day could come when Chandragupt could also become like Nand. A pure case of insecurity and mistrust of the ruling establishment!

A very timely post sangeetha...much needed!!
This praja is really getting on my nerves...they are way too audacious for 4th century BC.Certainly very valiant and unabashed for a king like nand.

The portrayal of the praja is clearly not helping establishing nand as a horrifyingly wicked king. This undervalues the savior aspect of Samrat CGM.

And they clearly don't sound suppressed... the way they poke their nose in every affiars of the royal clan they need a suppression though !!

CVs should underatand the importance of praja (on a whole) as a character...it plays such an important role in the characterization of CGM as a king and his relationship with his love.

And chankaya, (lets not get into how the real one was he aspired to create a welfare state but... he was clearly not this tolerant towards the subject)...its high time dude you used something which you are known for, and no I'm not talking about your cane but the BRAINS!!!

And if rescuing the subjects from the clutches of an oppressive king...giving them their rights means that they would acquire a revolting nature every time the king fails to act according to their whims and fancies ...then its high time the praja got some stick along with the carrots

Praja at this point is the most imprudent stroke from the writers

Very Valid Points marked in Blue, Aish !! 👏

What Shailaja had written may sound technically correct, I think old habits die hard. Praja who have been treated almost like slaves and got accustomed to keeping mum to whatever happened around them for so long, suddenly raise their voice, just because they got a new king who cares for them is a little hard to digest. That kinda change doesn't happen overnight.

Even in today's episode, only a handful of Praja stood by him, to prove testimony of his innocence and prove it to the rest of the public. Kal ki aarop agar cancel bhi karen, yet, it doesn't clear the fact that the public had raised their voice against the personal affairs and personal life of a King, which is outrageous in those days.
