• In 1937, Nehru had been elected president of the Indian National
Congress for the third time in a row. In reaction to this, an article
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."
• Whose pen-name is Chanakya?

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.

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.
116. • 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,

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.

descended from A through C, was definitely descended from A
through his mother who was the grand daughter of Esen Buqa I, who

177. Put Funda
• King Musa l of the Malian empire was possibly the richest person in all of history.
• He was a devout Muslim and in 1324, he saw it as his duty to perform Hajj, the
pilgrimage to Mecca.
• Musa’s pilgrimage caravan included 60,000 companions, 12,000 slaves carrying 4
pounds of gold each, and 80 camels laden with 50 to 300 pounds of gold each.
Five hundred of Musa’s servants also rode before him each carrying a 10.5 pound
gold staff. Though Musa had more gold than he could have possibly spent on his
journey, that didn’t stop him from making an effort.
• He gave beggars huge ingots, overpaid at bazaars and tipped with fistfuls of gold
dust. Musa also reportedly ordered a new mosque built for him to pray at every
Friday. In addition, he made formal charitable donations of 20,000 ounces of gold
– 1,250 pounds – each at Cairo, Mecca, and Medina.
• However, he (perhaps unintentionally) caused great disaster in all three cities.

179. Hyperinflation
• The instantaneous and incalculable influx of gold into Cairo, Mecca,
and Medina caused hyperinflation the likes of which had never been
seen before or since and nearly impoverished all three great cities for
over ten years. Assuming roughly equal distribution of the total gold
load across all those aforementioned camels, Musa made at least
71,000 pounds of gold basically worthless by just plumb giving it away
into climates that considered it scarce and valuable.
