Question

what is mandal tatwa??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Your neighbor is your natural enemy and the neighbor’s neighbor is your friend”

This was the basic thought behind Kautilya’s Mandala Theory. And it is the very frist thought that comes to one’s mind when we read the texts of kautilya. Mandala is a Sanskrit word which means ‘circles’.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mandla theory deals with the territorial nature of belligerency and alliances. e.g. A is a state with B and C as it’s neighbours. D is a neighbour of B and E is a neighbour of C, but D and E are not neighbours of A. In this senario, B and C are the natural enemies of A, while D and E are natural allies. D and E are also natural enemies of B and C respectively.

The Mandala theory stems from the territorial ambitions of the kings of the era, until recently most military conflicts were territorial in nature
