khushi posted this now tell me you guys have less evidence everyone posting 1 source and some are posting source from net which isnt even sourced.
durdhara was not diodoara neither was she princess of some other state. dhanadand daughter name isnt kalyani or nandini. i read that on net again that was said without evidence.
i have request before saying anything see if that info is from reliable source. Many books say dhanadand was sent to exile after defeated and chanakya got durdhara married to CGM so he can get the throne as there were some people who wouldn't allow CGM to sit on throne as he did not belong to royal family.
Acc to this source it shows CGM got married after defeating dhanadand.First wife of CGM was durdhara. In some books it mentions that D daughter was given to CGM but it doesnt give their names which can imply it was in fact durdhara. Now if they D daughter is different then how can CGM marry both at same time. He doesnt seem king who would waste time in marriages. His other wives must have come from different stages in his life as he must have been into polygamy like other kings.
its shown in chanakya serial which was based fully on Mudhrakhshahsa.
Now give more evidence than this also give name of dhanadand daughter and put source down so we can check it out. I appreciate your views but each of you have only given 1 source telling us. People are more likely to believe what most historians say which is that D was dhanadand daughter. some books say CGM married D daughter but name isnt given so we cant say she wasnt.
