Dear Friends,
I remember when I was small Ramayan and Mahabharat were telecast, our parents encouraged us to see those shows meant for children, yes they too also dragged but they did not show anything which was not in the epic if my memory serves me right. I am sure many parents are showing their children this show...the men who were first to unify India but what is this? In the name of creative liberties they have distorted history, I think this should be immediately stopped...NDTV should not telecast any such controversial and wrong piece of Information...this is utter gross!!!! Yes Chandragupt did fight the greeks and defeated them too but they were governors of Alexander who were appointed to look after the territory after he marched homewards and of course died on the way!!!! I agree with Historylover as she said, if Alexander would have been India for 6 years, the history of this place would have been different...Remember Chandragupt was still very young then and did not have an army of his own, he could trick Dayanand but here was Alexandar arrived here after defeating very many countries and fighting very many different armies...
BTW I loved Dhananand's track, even the track where Chandragupt was sent out for a mission to test his abilities by the gurukul, these facts are not chorniceled in history so taking creative liberties is fine lekin PLEASE FOR HEAVEN SAKE DO NOT DISTORT HISTORY!! What say friends, Love Tin

Polly we are like crabs, inspite of knowing the other is right we tend to pull her down to show she is not...but these are historical facts which neither Aru or anybody else have made up and the producers have no business in distorting history!!

Exactly tin... we all old members of CGM forum think this way only...
U know wat's da sad part? some people believe in wiki information & argue on da basis of that wrong info!!! they don't even realise that in wikipedia, any one can edit da info so how can u claim it 2 b an authentic source!! 😕 they don't realise, people read books too... 😔
Sad... 👎🏼 just to see something for entertainment, our people are ready to accept da ruined history!
If production house crave for TRPs then why on earth they are choosing history?? go make sarees n gehnes sorta stuffs!!! 😡
i really wish we all could do something...

Hye there are two side of a coin
just as u people feel they should show history as it is
we non history students feel it is better to know history rather than not knowing it
but we would be able to watch it only if told in an entertaining way because we are used to all entertainement channels indian and foreign
agreed the major aim of the show is to track th life of CGM and how he established Mauryan empire.
.But It is very obvious tht in todays world with so many diversions available.
.First of all it is really commendable for them to think of making an historical show so tht
people today are made aware of our ancient history
..why should they do that they can easily make some saas bahu shows which women folk are interested and make money easily...
it is less expenisve to make saas bahu shows and easy trps..too beasue some peopela re so used to watchign negativity..that they only like lit
I feel they really the makers a re really interested in making know such ancient hisotrical facts to young people and also to adults unware of it
that is why they are making them
secondly I personally feel in todays entertainment world this is all part and parcel..
One cannot show too much dryness saying reality perfect to "T" because then it will be all dry with blood sheds/wars/ dates/battle fields.etc
why do we need a visual show for .that .we can very well read or get information from internet..we need visual medium for education with entertainment
I t is not an UGC class/schhol or college lecture hour ..it is show business..so definitely entertaining aspects are needed
and reg why on earth chosing history for this
I personally feel it is very wrong of people to say they must choose only some othr topics
history is not anyones personal property alone ..and it is comon ancestral proeprty
so if we can say """why do they make it"" well i fel they can say """why should not we make it? """
so me personally feel i would rather appreciate their commendable efforts to make a show on large scale like this and try and make it aware
to atleast some section of people about our ancient mauryan empire.
who knows they would other wise would be watching some saas making fight with her bahu or some evil plottings or pure romance some dance shows or whatver ..
.so I personally welcome their efforts because people like us would rather prefer visual medium and also story in an entertaining way rateehr than all so called perfect facts... facts and facts..which can very well be read instead of being seen
if at all we want only facts we can very well read books/ see internet why do we need televison?
so I think personally we need to give our appreciation a nd positivity to such shows which are atemptin to do something good
they t may not be perfect 100 percent But definitley a good effort:))atleast a break away fro all those so called buk cket tear shedding family shows
and it is always easy to criticise but hard do something good..so when osme one is attemti ng changes instad of being too crtical we need to support ethem too
BTW i am not hre to argue or contradicting or entering tinto fights with anyone Just sahred my personal thoughts
have a great week end cheers to all of u fabulous knowledgable girls

When we were small we did not have wiki but in books it was taught and the period they are now showing, alexander had turned into skeleton in his grave...if you do not know the right thing it is not a crime but don't do propaganda of the wrong, it is a big crime!!

Being non history student does not give you or anybody else the right to distort history even though in the name of entertainment!! Creative liberties can be taken in many other aspects, like for Dhananand's track, we all enjoyed it for the facts are not chorniceled so fine, I am not ashamed of my knowledge and in this world anybody who chooses can remain ignorant to facts, that is his or her personal choice but noway it means just in the name of entertainment a national channel has the right to distort facts...

didi rehne dijiye...koi fayda nhi...when i said all these i was named as fame crazy another rakhi sawant..and with my names so much gali or abusement were tagging...like out of brain and etc etc...but still being history student i can't stop myself to say original history..and to tell everyone that for entertainment we don't need wrong history because in history we already have so many interesting tracks...action drama romance..creative liberty can be taken to present those real track beautifully..but can't be taken to change historical facts

but now i understood...that people won't change their different views and won't agree in one common conclusion..so let's stop the discussion

Jhum bhoye peyo na, even if they have called you Rakhi Sawant let me tell you something to be Rakhi Sawant is not easy, many of us will not be able to do what she has done, it takes a lot of guts, good or bad is besides the point but lets not disrespect her, need must have driven her to do what she has done...
Like Anna who is fighting for corruption we should also fight for correct facts, ha creative liberties is well accepted but within limits...
