I am confused sir, why there are 4 mandalas only (Vijighisu, Ari, Madhayam and Udasina) Why you exclude "mitra" from the domain of mandala.

[@POLSCHELP]

good question. See, we've taken 'Mitra' in allies system- second level analysis. Also, 4 basic Mandla denote circles of those kings who all compete with each other to become Vijigishu; Mitra do not compete with Vijigishu; hence they are not part of 4 basic or independent competing Mandala...hope it is clear...

We could have prevented china from becoming our neighbour. But when they were conquering tibet and ran out of food supply and energy. Our honorable PM nehru supplied them with resources to nourish themselves. And they came here. Also, India and China were friendly but it is because of communist party which cause conflict.

Adorable class Sir. लेकिन महाभारत धर्म युद्ध नहीं था। पांडवों में राजवंश का रक्त नहीं था। वे किसी भी प्रकार राज्य की सीमा में रहने के भी योग्य नहीं थे। कृष्ण ने तो हर जगह अनैतिक बात का ही पक्ष लिया और दुष्चरित्रता के उदाहरण प्रस्तुत किए। हिन्दू धर्म पर काला धब्बा।
