Though I totally agree that Brahmans were notorious back then and they got what came for them when Mauryas preferred other religions🤣

I think the most perfect dhanananda'' depiction was on chanakaya serial on doordarshan.

Dhanananda claimed to be a kshatriya himself. Why would he hate kshatriyas?

It was mahapadmananda who rooted out every kshatriya king and that's why he called himself second parshurama. But this hatred is out of blue.

Lolz woh low caste SE tha to bad tha, hai na

... Mana ke he was arrogant but there is other side also...

Though I agree people revolted against him, the real reason was huge conspiracy in which brhamans played role...suddenly there were plagues, murders in magdha...Also in direct clash dhanaanad defeated Maurya and Chankya twice...he lost because his own people cheated him ...

Brahmans didn't want to see any other person on high status ...irony is that Chandragupta Maurya dissed Brahmans and became Jain and Ashoka the greatest maurayan king made budhism number one religion of India... 🤣

So do you think that Dhananand was a great king? Where did you get this idea from? I dont know why do you people try to show Brahmans as the villains everywhere (I am not a Brahman P.S. but what exactly did they do back then to be so notorious? And as I said if they were so powerful and stuck to their religion, they would have tried to stop the Mauryans from converting or at least propagating their religion, but there is no proof to show that any of these happen

When did I ever say that DN was a great king?! Even Class 5 history books mention how cruel and oppressive he was and how he imposed heavy taxes and insulted Chanakya.I simply said that since it's CGM's story its natural that the villain would be DN irrespective of his caste.

@bold,what exactly do you mean by 'You People?' I am a Brahmin myself for starters.But isn't it common knowledge that the Brahmans and the upper castes tried to suppress the lower castes back then?And it existed way before the Nandas or the Mauryans.

Okay not all of them were notorious but a huge section of them certainly were.

All I was trying to explain to the @LuckySnow is that treat a show like a show and don't turn it into a caste debate.If the show is about one person then his nemesis will be the antagonist for its a TV show.

Alexander's villification went overboard and DN already had the elements of a villain so they made him more interesting.

Mr lucky snow, muje to pta bhi nhi tha Ki vo low caste se h...

Thanks for telling.

Aapko villain ka mtlb bhi pta h.

Villain vo hota h Jo apni khushi k liye dusri KO tang kare, apne fyde ke liye dusri KO nuksan pahuchaye, jisme badle Ki bhawna ho, etc etc.

And Jo mene abhi padha dhananda k baare me was Ki he insulted chanakya, he used to levy taxes on gareeb people etc etc... Vo apni soch Ki vjh se villain tha na Ki caste Ki vjh se.

bang on...exactly...he was not a villain because he was lower caste or he was not a brahmin...but he was a villain because of his deeds.
