The story of Chanakya and Dhanananda lead to the foundation of Akhand Bharat and Mighty Maurya empire.

Magadha was biggest and strongest Janpada in India which was ruled by Dhanananda of Nanda dynasty. He had the biggest army in entire India. At this time India was facing the threat of Macedonian attack of Alexander. India was a divided house with 16 janapadas.

Acharya Vishnugupta Chanakya was a renowned acharya of Takshashila (RAWALPINDI now PAKISTAN) University which was the biggest and most reputed university at that time in Entire Bharatvarsha (  present SOUTH ASIA INDIAN SUB CONTINENT). In was located in Takshashila which was capital of Kingdom of Gandhar ruled by king Ambhi. As expected Alexander was standing at gates of India near hindukush. Now the situation was that King of Ambhi of Gandhar and King Puru of Panchnad or modern day Punjab were swore enemies and Ambhi had previously suffered defeat at hands of Puru. So to avenge it Ambhi joined hands with Alexander and opened the gates of Bharat for him by helping him cross hindukush and enter India. ( THIS IS WHAT present day PAKISTAN is doing since 1947 ) He struck a deal that Ambhi will help Alexander with army and after defeat of Puru his kingdom will be given to Ambhi ( Corelate today's PAKISTAN cohabitating with CHINA against INDIA. TWO FRONT WAR  ). Alexander and his army entered India. Now their next stop was against Puru( CONSIDER as todays NEW DELHI ). They sent letter to kingdoms to surrender including Puru and Puru the man he was refused and challenged Alexander to meet him in battlefield.

So what happened was that Chanakya knew that India which was divided in small janapada's can't take on the might of Alexander individually. As soons as Chanakya received news of Ambhi joining hands with Alexander Chanakya set out to warn everyone and urge them to unite. Puru was all set for fight anyway. But chanakya still knew that for completely defeating Macedonian force they need support of strong King. Magadha was birth place of Chanakya and Dhanananda was most powerful ruler with a formidable army. Chanakya reached Magadha and wanted to meet and convince dhanananda to march towards north and secure indian borders from Alexander. But Dhanananda was a power hungry , corrupt and incompetent king. Yes he had a mighty force but he was running out and out corrupt administration ( BOTH BJP & prior to BJP CONGRESS  since 1947 are playing the game of  political chess  seething with corruption which is supported  & protected by the most corrupt political system in the recorded history of INDIAN SUB CONTINENT )

So when Chanakya went and tried to convince dhanananda to help the northern kingdoms and secure Bharatvarsh from Invaders dhanananda in his arrogance not only abused Chanakya but he ordered his guards to catch chanakya by his hair knot ( BODI  aka PONY TAIL  )or shikha which Brahmins keep and throw him out of palace which they did. It was an extreme level insult to a famous teacher of famous University. See such an arrogance of power and insult chanakya took a vow then and there which we call “Chanakya Pratigya” that he will not tie his hair or shikha till he dethrones Dhanananda and destroy his entire clan before Magadha and install a king in his place who will unite Janapadas and form Akhand Bharat.

And rest we know is history how chanakya took young Chandragupta under his fold trained him and Dethrones Dhanananda and instated Chandragupta as Emperor and established the GREAT MAURYAN EMPIRE

Russia's Unseen New Armata Battle Tank                Captured on Camera

                      The Moscow Times

Mar. 25 2015

military-informant.comRussia's brand-new T-14 Armata main battle tanks, covered in tarps and resting on a train carriage, are seen in Alabino.

 

Russia's brand-new T-14 Armata main battle tank, which is set to be officially unveiled to the public at a Victory Day parade on Red Square on May 9, has reportedly been sighted readying for the ceremonies outside Moscow.


Photos of tanks resembling the Armata tank design hit the Russian internet on Monday.

According to Russian military blog                               military-informant.com, which published the photos, the tanks, covered in tarps and resting on a train carriage, were gathering with other military units in Alabino, outside Moscow. There they will rehearse their movements for this year's Victory Day celebration, which marks 70 years since the defeat of Nazi Germany.


The Armata is part of a massive rearmament program costing hundreds of billions of dollars that aims to restore some of the military might Russia lost after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
A video taken from a cell phone and uploaded to YouTube on Monday shows what appears to be the Armata tank. The video shows a junction near the factory that produced the tank, Uralvagonzavod, and a tank testing range.

 

The tank's seven wheels give it away as an Armata. Russia's current tanks are all based on variations of old Soviet tank chassis designs and have six wheels.


Another recognizable feature is the long and boxy turret that resembles modern Western tank turret designs such as the U.S. M1 Abrahms and German Leopard 2. Older Russian tanks have more bulbous turrets.


The new tanks, officially designated the Armata T-14 main battle tank, is built on a chassis known as the Armata Universal Combat Platform. Armata will serve as a common base for a series of armored combat vehicles, according to manufacturer Uralvagonzavod.


The chassis will be used to develop new armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, and even a fully automated drone tank, the company has said. The common chassis will make production and maintenance easier and cheaper, according to Uralvagonzavod.
