In order to create a strong society and culture, rather than just trusting and following the wisdom, ethics and morals of a common man or even a king is not enough. It shows that despite of believe in ideology Chanakya knew that the society cannot simply live on ideology. The conversation between the scholars including Chanakya – abut his famous book – ArthShastra – is very deep and realistic. Nehru was impressed by both Chanakya and Chandragupta but not mesmerized by them and tried looking at their lives in terms of political situations in India in their times.Įven the famous incidents of meeting of Chandragupta and Chanakya the clash between Nand and Chanakya in Nand’s court which were the game changers appears in the episode in quite different way than they were in the Chanakya TV Serial. The TV Serial never try to defame the work done by both them, but, it rather view it in probably neutral way. And the approach to the lives of Chanakya, Chandragupta and other related characters was different in both the TV Serials.Īccording to Bharat Ek Khoj TV Serial – Chanakya and Chandragupta were two unique personalities who took the full advantage of situation raised due to the death of Alexander, and internal clash between the north-western border states of India and draw the future and control the circumstances in the way they wanted. It is worth to note that Chanakya TV Serial was made after Bharat Ek Khoj.

Chanakya – TV Serial was also praised a lot for its research and authenticity. It is obvious to compare content of famous Hindi TV Serial Chanakya with the episode #11 and episode #12 of Bharat Ek Khoj as both them explore the lives of the above mentioned legends in a way. To justice the content, the director spread the tale into two episodes. Of course we also expect glimpses of the life of Alexander (The Great) aka Sikandar in the same. Episode #11 of Hindi TV Serial Bharat Ek Khoj (which was aired on DoorDarshan and now is available as a set of DVD for home viewing) focuses on the tale of two legends Chankya and Chandragupta.
