difference between chanak and chankya

okay first chanak was an acharya and yes he was more emotional than chanakya.plus he broke his teeth because he was a brahmin and brahmins were not supposed to be kings at that time,he did not broke it because he didn't wanted to him to be like cruel kings.chanak was a simple acharya who revolted against dhananda not mahapadma nanda.true history says that mahapadma nanda was the founder of nanda dynasty and was a brave king.if he was cruel or not this is not known but he is respected by scholars because he made magadha really powerful and was a man of courage,even being a shudra or possibly a son of shurdra with a king as it was shown he became a king.at that time shudras were not accepted as kings so that is why he is respected for being brave enough to snatch such a big empire from sisunaga dynasty.after that his 7 successors or 7 brothers ruled.dhana was the last king of the empire and there is no way he was son of mahapadma.so on that part chanak was killed by dhana not mahapadma.bechare ko yu he badnaam kar rahe hain ye.dhana was descendant of mahapadma possibly or maybe his brother but he is nowhere tagged as his son.as i said before they butchered the history.😆

u sure it was dhanananda who killed him cant believe this new turn of events😆so what abt time when acahrya was telling story of maha padmanand and how he killed those khatirye is that true as well

dude dhana is not his son,this is a true fact,he was born way after his death,he was his seventh descendent.even if he was his brother he got the throne after rule of his first 6 brothers.so...dhanu killed chanak,it is shown in older chanakya and older one is based on mudrarakshasa so...and that time it was not so easy to kill brahmins,he in real would have impriosned him and as the show in older chanakya he died of starvation and torcher but there is no way these kings could kill brahmins so easily.at that time brahmins were considered greater than kings but dhanu was a shudra so he was m0re liberal towards it and thats why he did bad things and chanakya wanted to dethrone him and make someone worthy as a king.

thanks for info wish they had shown it like that in the serial. this serial acc to me is better at presenting things in interesting way and better than chanakya series only if they could have been more tight with facts about history rather showing too much fiction

sry acc to me chanakya is far more better than cgm in presentation,it presnted true story and with true effects,cgm is not showing anything except fiction with tinch of reality in it.durdhara is totally butchered in the serial,mihika,shashanka are not given the time span they deserve onscreen,asli kaam to saara shashanka ne kara tha old chanakya mein,usme jo spy tha na susiddharatak,bhai kya spy tha aur old chanakya ke kutilta dekhne laayak the.is show ke quality uske mukable kuch nahin.

disagree wid u there i know chanakya series was presenting true story but i have seen it and it was bit boring i mean look at chanakya there. he is so dull and even dhanananda sorry to say but actors on this show are doing full justice

although agree wid point of dhara, mihika and shashank. old chanakya they might have worked on each characters carefully and here they only show chandu and chanakya mostly. i agree wid that.

or is show ka music lajawaab hain😉 they do show history but with bit of fiction and old chanakya was based fully on history.

BTW just tell me u said dhanananda killed chanakya father did u read that somewhere or is it coz of chanakya series never know even they can add fiction to it as well in their own way. i know it was based on mudhrakshasa. but there are things which people would still not agree like dhara being dhana daughter and all that.

so that mean chanakya was not kid when his father was killed and what abt his pratigya wasnt that because of his humiliation or revenge purpose.

also when chanakya came in first epi why was he so shocked like he wasnt aware whom the king is when nandas were ruling since long time😆 kind of confusin😕
