• In 1937, Nehru had been elected president of the Indian National

titled "Rashtrapati" appeared under the pseudonym Chanakya in a
Calcutta monthly called Modern review. Excerpts follow:
"Men like Jawaharlal, with all their capacity for great and good work, are unsafe in democracy. He calls himself
a democrat and a socialist, and no doubt he does so in all earnestness, but every psychologist knows that the
mind is ultimately a slave to the heart and logic can always be made to fit in with the desires and irrepressible
urges of a person. A little twist and Jawaharlal might turn a dictator
In normal times he would be just an efficient and successful executive, but in this revolutionary epoch,
Caesarism is always at the door, and is it not possible that Jawaharlal might fancy himself as a Caesar?
Let us not spoil that and spoil him by too much adulation and praise. His conceit is already formidable. It must
be checked. We want no Caesars."

A is known to be tone of the earliest proponents of psychological
warfare. It is said that he ordered his soldiers to drag large objects
behind their horses to create dust storms. The dust storms made the
advancing troops appear to be much larger than they were. He ordered
his soldiers to burn hundreds of extra fires at night, which also made
the armies appear larger.
Although infamous for the brutality of his campaigns A is also
credited with bringing the Silk Road under one cohesive political
environment. This brought communication and trade from Northeast
Asia into Muslim Southwest Asia and Christian Europe, thus expanding
the horizons of all three cultural areas.
• B is A's Great-great-great Grandson, if A was the First _____ ____, B
was the Fifth.
• "B : A Vision in a Dream, a Fragment" is the full title of a famous
poem by Samuel Taylor Coelridge. According to Coleridge's preface,
the poem was composed one night after he experienced an opium-
influenced dream after reading a work describing Xanadu, the
summer palace of the B.
• Most modern critics now view it as one of Coleridge's three great
poems, along with The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Christabel.
• C is a great ruler who established a dynasty after his own name, he
was the last of the great nomadic conquerors of the Eurasian Steppe,
and his empire set the stage for the rise of the more structured and
lasting Gunpowder Empires in the 16th and 17th centuries.
• Through his father, C claimed to be a descendant of Tumanay , a
male-line ancestor he shared in common with A.
• Scholars estimate that C's military campaigns caused the deaths of 17
million people, amounting to about 5% of the world population at the
time. (A would be proud)
• C's name was in the news in India in 2016 and (perhaps due to low
standards for what passes as journalism), remains in the news today.
• D, born Zahīr ud-Dīn Muhammad, was C's Great grandson. And if not
descended from A through C, was definitely descended from A
through his mother who was the grand daughter of Esen Buqa I, who
was the great-great-great grandson of Chaghatai, A's second born
son.
• D established an empire in India and his dyasty derives it's name from
the dynasty of A.
• A building associated with his name has been in the news for years,
due to the controversy surrounding it.
