<div style="font-size: 19px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 16.53px;"><span>
In
last couple of months FIIs have been a net buyer in Indian equity market. There
are multiple factors including the Indian growth story backed by a stable
government, which has led to this inflow. May 23<span style="bottom: 5.73px; font-size: 11.86px; height: auto; line-height: 0px; position: relative; top: -5.93px; vertical-align: baseline;">rd</span> results will
definitely have an impact on capital inflow(FII and FDI) which by and large one
of the critical factor in deciding the future course. Between the two key
political group(UPA and NDA), there is no major economic policy deviation
however its better to review your portfolio.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 19px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 16.53px;"><span>
A
broad level categorization based cash position of investors:</span></div>
<span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
</span><br />
</span><ol style="font-size: 19px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 33.25px 38px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin-top: 8.17px;"><span>All in stocks- This category belongs to those who are already invested with no cash/minimal cash in hand. Is your stock directly getting impacted due to change in government? If the answer is yes then you need to slowly reduce the exposure to minimize the risk. There will be short term selling pressure on these stocks. Its better to switch to blue chip will have minimal impact as compared to small and mid cap. With the current bull run, a short term correction is expected post 23<span style="bottom: 5.73px; font-size: 11.86px; height: auto; line-height: 0px; position: relative; top: -5.93px; vertical-align: baseline;">rd</span> May as the market may have factored a stable government. Booking partial profit/keeping some cash is not a bad idea. Market will provide further opportunities. </span></li>
<li style="margin-top: 8.17px;"><span>Fifty-Fifty: You fall under the cautious investor group and are waiting for the market to correct for further investment. Again, you can also revisit the portfolio as stated in point 1. Its better to continue your cash position and look for stocks which are looking good post Q4.</span></li>
<li style="margin-top: 8.17px;"><span> All in cash: You fall under the most risk averse lot who expect the worst on Election result day. Keep looking for value buys and stocks which are not going to get impacted by government change.</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Multi-lane expressways have become a reality.
Next generation, powerful two and four wheelers are very comfortable and
have considerably reduced the commuting time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt;">There was been increase in road accidents as
well. Reasons are multi-fold and cannot be attributed to any one aspect:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Lack of discipline: Majority of us don’t
follow any lanes or traffic rules. With these swanky highways, any small mistake
can lead to major accident. Speedy vehicles don’t get much time to react. With
more and more high power vehicles coming on road, this is only adding upto the
problem. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 43.5pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Good roads: Its surprising but I feel
this is another reason. Do we deserve such roads when we don’t care about
traffic rules and road safety. Airbag is still considered a waste of money and
available only in high end versions. Helmets on head is due to fear of paying
fines. Bad, narrow roads were blessing in disguise. Due to congestion on narrow
lanes, every vehicle will struggle at 30-40 KMPH hence chance of accident and
resulting impact was less as compared to multi-lane expressways.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 43.5pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">

</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Machines and Roads have developed but we as a
human need to match up. We need to be more disciplined and take road safety as
top most priority. Otherwise, this boon will remain a bane as far as road causalities
are considered. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Affordable
housing is going to be the growth engine in real estate market.
Although there has been a constant push from Government to reduce
prices, builders have shown their inability.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Input
costs have been increasing on a continuous basis. Governments push on
infrastructure development is already fueling the demand leading to
price rise. Various cartels in these core sectors are making things
worse for builders.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With
almost no control over the input cost, builders are left with very
limited levers to make ‘affordable’ flats a reality. One of the areas
which can be worked upon is the open space utilization. Most of the
builders are trying to showcase open/green space to attract buyers.
Although, this sounds very lucrative to potential customers, builders
literally don’t get any penny for this part of the land. These are areas
blocked for playground, jogging tracks, tennis court etc. High rise
towers help them make money and recover cost for these open areas.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The
moment they start generating more revenue per square feet of land,
affordable housing can be a reality. After setting aside a certain
profit margin, builders will definitely pass on the benefit to customers
making affordable housing a reality even in mid and luxury segments.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Big Question- How to make the most of these open space?</span></div>
<ol style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Utilize the power of association</span>–
Most of the renowned builders are under an umbrella of real estate
association. They should use this forum to bring consensus on critical
things. Have a common open area for a group of builder/townships.
Instead of setting aside open spaces in each and every project, builders
of a particular locality should jointly develop the open area either
through land pooling or cost sharing basis. Net impact would be, more
area available for construction leading to more revenue generation.
Common open space shared between 3-4 society will have all the sports
facilities and a restricted access, pay and use, common maintenance.
These intricacies can be dealt later when these builders work together
on such plans.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Involve local government bodies during planning phase</span>–
Most the town planning is not done meticulously hence we hardly find
municipal park. It may be available in some areas but with very minimal
maintenance. These bigger societies are good source of revenue for
Government as property tax collection is high and with almost no
defaulters. As a group of builders/society, request local municipality
to build play area or at least share the cost. An organized approach
will definitely help. These new clusters of townships are often seen as a
good vote bank. No one will try to annoy these middle class voters.</li>
</ol>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px; margin-bottom: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The
above looks very simple on paper but in reality there will be some
hurdles and the biggest would acceptance level among prospective
customers. Some may not like sharing the open area if another township
people. Cost benefit evaluation will largely depend on how much rate cut
a builder is ready to pass on to customer making it a win-win for all.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Bala, one of the top
contender for CEO post in a big IT firm, has decided to join AAP. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I am sure this trend
will continue and people from big companies join AAP. There is a lot, who has
achieved almost everything professionally and want to contribute to society at large. This lot of seniors are financially well secured and their current job does not provide any scope of further growth in professional terms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Retaining such lot is
going to be difficult for employers. They would have never dreamt of such
'poaching' happening from a new 'competitor'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">AAP has provided a
platform which such lot was looking for quite some time. Atleast for now, politics is no more a 'Dirty' term in AAP. The road less travelled is always
bumpy and I am sure there will be some who will leave politics to join back
corporates/ NGOs. Only time will decide if AAP continue to do politics,
the cleaner way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Breakup of USSR led to a power imbalance. There was no one to challenge the mighty Americans. India had to re look at her foreign policies and with the passage of time we showed more inclination towards USA for everything right from defence, nuclear deal or complaining the wrong deeds of our neighbors.<br />
But how good is this for India as a country who is sorrounded by 'not so friendly' neighbours. US president will be arriving in India with a long list of demand that includes defence deal worth USD 12 billion plus. This will make US the biggest supplier of arms. Apart from that it will provide the much needed impetus to US economy and supposedly provide employement to 60K Americans.<br />
Giving job to Americans is not my concernce but can we depend on US for arms. In the past we have seen that Americans are the first to pull the strings whenver there is some aggression shown by us on borders. They have the critical technologies which they are not going to share. This makes the deal more vulnerable.US will have the control on the much needed spare parts or the supporting equipments and, they can stop the supply in the event of any aggression from our side.<br />
We should maintain a balance. Although Russia is not that powerful but we can undertake joint arms development. Brahmos is a best example. Together we can develop better weapons which will not only serve the purpose of both countries but help economically grow . India and Russia have recently agreed to co-develop the world’s premier fighter. This will be a step ahead of the US Air Force’s F-22 Raptor, which currently rules the skies. The deal will get finalised some where in December when Russia's president visits India.<br />
Russia had remain our time tested friend hence in future also i still believe this will be the only country apart from Israel which can help India without asking any questions.<br />
Obama's visit is more like a businessman's trip who will come here and sign some deals or pressurise India to sign. US corporates have a huge say in any policy making and such a strong lobby will definitely ask for more from him.<br />
I dont think the current government is in a position to act . Some times we forgot that we are also an independent nation and no one dictate us. Hey waheguru ji hamarey PM ko sadbudhi dena.</div>

2012...End of the world...Thats what few people predict..इसलिए जी लो ज़िन्दगी...<br />
I am not sure if its gonna happen or not but atleast few(or should i say most) of the netas, babus and some defence personnel have taken this as a deadline.<br />
<br />
We are use to these corruption news 'Breaking' every minute on 'Your' Channel. Whether its CWG mess or 2G spectrum allocation in Telecom. Well the list is long and I don't want to waste this space by mentioning the names of Netas as 99% of them are either corrupt or support corruption(inaction against corruption should fall under the same category..hope Dr.Manmohan Singh is listening).<br />
<br />
Surprisingly few top Defence officials name too came in some of the scams. Although its a bit surprising as this is the only Organization which Indians are proud of and is known for its integrity.<br />
But I was not surprised by the name which made the headlines. Mr. Kapoor is one of the main accused along with some of his colleagues.<br />
His track record or should i corruptrack record has remained into news. Like any other true <span style="font-style: italic;">Jawan</span> he loves his motherland. But some how the love is too materialistic as far he is concerned. While rest of the Jawans take pride by defending the borders , this guy shows his love by acquiring/grabbing lands and asking favors from netas.<br />
Aksai Chin or POK or even J&K(remember 307 article) में लैंड deal करता तो भी समझ में आता की he is doing it for a cause.<br />
But here the purpose is some what different. अब समंदर से एक दो बूँद कम हो जाये तो किसे पता चलेगा(Defence has a huge land bank across).<br />
<br />
I have full faith in our current Army Chief Gen। V.K. Singh who is known for his integrity just like any other defence personnel. I am sure the enquiry being undertaken will definitely help in cleaning this system.</div>

Current financial meltdown across the globe has been an eye-opener for lot of people. A very strong looking rally has suddenly changed to a bearish trend. Although, it was expected but the impact is beyond any one's imagination.<br />
Big I bankers have either become Bankrupt or are looking for help from the Govt. The ripple effect has gripped Indian market as well. Our financial sector is very much secluded and with quality of credit far better than that of our US counterpart. Still it has impacted not only the Fin sector but reality and manufacturing sectors are feeling the heat.<br />
Till now majority of us have been focusing more on the micro economic factors while investment in the share market. Assuming Indian economy is doing well, if the company has a good management and the sector is performing well, people were ready to put in the money in those stocks. But the current meltdown has changed everything. All the sectors have got impacted. Share prices of most of the scrip have reached near 52 week low mark.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>How to survive in such situation<br /></strong><strong></strong>1. It is always advisable to put your money in quality stocks. The prices will crash even for these shares but the recovery will be fast. These companies will try to get the maximum out of the slowing down economy. They will focus on streamlining their process during this phase. Some buyouts might happen as they will get some good companies readily available in the market at throwaway valuation.<br />
Once the economy revives, these companies will lead the pack by giving good returns to the shareholders.<br />
Reliance capital made an announcement to foray into Investment banking and Housing finance on the very next day of Lehman’s bankruptcy. Some might feel that is this the right time for them to make this announcement. Well I feel yes because Interest rates have already reached the peak. In coming few months things should improve and rates will fall leading to a rise in credit off take. As far as I-banking is concerned, the key to success is how well connected you are with the prospective clients. It’s all about relationship which guarantees some good opportunities and hence good business. Timing would not have been better when best of the brains of these distressed companies are looking for new avenues. Reliance Capital will get these top quality people who in turn can help a big bang launch of I banking business.<br />
<br />
2. Averaging is a good tool to minimize your losses and increases the probability of faster breakeven. But the only concern is we are not sure when the stock price will bottom out. At times you average out assuming market has already bottomed but the very next day it falls again. It’s better to do it in phased manner based on your risk appetite and how much disposable income you have. There is no full proof way to beat the market but managing the same may be helpful.<br />
<br />
3. Commodities can be another option to look into. The nature of the collapse in US is entirely driven by consumer spending. The main beneficiary of the situation is China and the Middle East countries. The appetite for taking huge loans on the part of US consumers driven by very high spending on household needs accounted this downfall.<br />
<br />
In the last 9 recessions since 1950, S & P 500 index rose by 30% in the first 12 months once the market reached bottom. Surprisingly in 8 of the 9 recoveries the market reached bottom before the end of the recession.<br />
<br />
Whenever such great correction, collapse, recession, war, terrorism, any other natural calamities etc happens …people at large go back to basic which is the old theory. They either keep the money in cash in the locker or they invest in Gold. Gold is one commodity which trades like money and the exchange/liquidity is also very high. Historical events show that Gold is very good long term investment and it has beaten the Inflation number in the last 50 years of history in India atleast.<br />
<br />
Price of Gold was Rs. 200 per ten grams in 1968. Today in 2008 the price for the same 10 grams has reached to Rs. 12500 which is 62 times higher than the 1968 price.<br />
<br />
Happy Investing!!!</div>

Party is over in Dalal Street. One of the longest bull-run has come to an end. Thanks to Inflation and not so enthusiastic growth figures from various sectors. Oil prices are at an all time high. In the middle of this uncertain environment, there are people with some disposable income but not sure where to put the money.<br />
The Banks are giving handsome returns in Fixed Deposits. Suddenly 9% return from FD is looking more lucrative than share market.<br />
There are ways to beat the negative returns from the market. Try looking for those sectors which are somewhat secured from these negatives factors. Firstly I will go for the media and entertainment sector. No one is going to stop watching movies (read PVR, ADLABS).These big multiplex groups are into movie production as well. Our film industry is doing well which in turn will lead to better numbers for these companies. Still the mantra is to buy and hold these shares as you won’t get some extraordinary returns in short term.<br />
Another share which looks good from a long term perspective is Dish TV. It’s the only listed company in its category. Currently they are busy in capturing the market as the biggest challenge is to move Indian viewers from cable operators to set top box. Hence free set top box scheme will definitely make a dent in the financial books in short term but in the long term the picture looks bright. They will start getting the subscription fees which will improve the cash inflow. At current levels this share looks good. In a span of two years it will definitely give some handsome return.<br />
Beating the street may not be easy but people are making money. Happy Investing!</div>

Launch of <em>Lakhtakiya</em> (Tata Motors' Nano) was one of the much awaited events of the year. Ratan Tata managed to put the base price at 1 Lakh. Higher version will cost more based on the additional features.<br />
Things have changed a lot from the announcement date till now.<br />
Thanks to Mamata effect, the manufacturing plant completion is already behind the schedule. Project delay means cost overrun. If we go by the market rumor, TATA motor has already lowered their procurement figures from various vendors. This means that the launch may not be on a large scale. Initial rollout of Nano will be less in numbers.<br />
Rise in the input costs will also put a lot of pressure on the margin. Rise in steel price and other input materials will definitely hit the bottomline. They have put an upper cap of 1 Lakh on the selling price (for base model) but putting a freeze on the cost is not possible. It is something that is determined by the market forces. Inflation figures are already making some new high every week.<br />
Third hit would be from the competitors like Maruti and Bajaj. Maruti has already announced its plan to bring a trim down version of its ‘Maruti 800’ model. With so much experience in India car market and the already depreciated machinery, reducing the cost will not be a big challenge for Maruti. Existing distribution network and vendors will add to the advantage.<br />
Ratan Tata has always come out in flying colors in the time of adversity. People were apprehensive at the time of Indica launch. I am sure Nano will not only clear these hurdles but win the hearts of the middle class who wants a safe vehicle. With so much innovation I am sure things would improve by the launch time. They have already filed for 34 patents. I am sure TATAs will come out with some new distribution model to reduce the cost. Adding to this is the cute look of the car which every middle class Indian want to own.</div>

<div>
The title of this blog sounds as if it was written before 1947.It holds true even in this globalized economy.</div>
<br />
<div>
I try to go for some thing which is very INDIAN provided the quality is at par with the so called Big MNCs.Bisleri or Kinlay,Voltas or LG,Fruity or Maaza....the list goes increasing.I go for the Indian products which are "Made in India" "Made by an Indian Company".<br />
Ab aap log bhi soch rahe hongey ki mai 19vi sadi ki baat kar raha hoo.If the quality is at par then why not go for some Indian product..."wo kehte hai na Ghar ka paisa ghar mei rahega".<br />
Its not always possible to get a good deal for an Indian Product as the case holds good for TV,refrigerator or any cosmetic product.MNCs have outshined the Indian companies in many areas.<br />
They have every reason to be so as they have huge financial backup to change the market dynamics.<br />
Still my mantra is 'Be India Buy Indian'...isliye mainey liya India ka AC :)</div>

<div>
Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka, Chanakaya, Guru Gobind Singh, Aryabhatta, Dr.Rajendra Prasad, Jayprakash, First war of independence, Mahaveer, Budhha, First satyagrah by Gandhi, Nalanda University....there is one thing which is common among all...Its Bihar.<br />
The name that is synonymous to backwardness in our country. Its the same place which has produced countless personalities in different fields-whether its art ,literature, acting and music-Bismillah khan, tulsidas, premchand, Shatrughan Sinha, Manoj Vajpayee and the list is endless.<br />
We hardly find people associating us with the good things.Instead Bihar is associated with corruption,backwardness etc.At the time of introduction if you reveal that you are a Bihari,ther other person might step back two steps (<em>shayad darr se!!</em>).<br />
During British colonialism period, Biharis were forced to migrate to different parts of world. Today they have changed the face of those under developed economies. You go to Mauritus,Guyana, Suriname, Brazil, South Africa, Fiji, and Trinidad and Tobago and you will find the Biharis among the frontrunners.<br />
One strange thing about us is that we don’t like working in our home state-reasons could be multiple. Firstly there is hardly any industries left to provide employment, too much of politics and other social disturbances. Apart from that we maintain a certain lifestyle/image in our home town, gaon and in our community. Hence taking some labour job might not sync with the status which we maintain there. Hence breaking that shackle is a bit difficult.<br />
You go to Assam tea plantation -you will find bihari, go to Kolkata -taxi drivers and coolies are Biharis.Go to Mumbai-you will find lots of Biharis selling vegetables,milk to earn some money. They will work hard, save a major portion and come back to home town every year during Chhath festival. This is how the cycle goes.<br />
Next comes the educated Bihari lot-which can be found in government offices, private jobs. Getting through the Civil Services is a dream of every Bihari. We love power and <em>aaram ki zindagi</em>."<em>ek baar competition mei ragad ke padh liye,phir to aaram hi aaram hai!!!</em>" Thats the mantra....<br />
Take the list of toppers of any institute in any part of India and you will find a Bihari in top five.<br />
There is another breed of educated Biharis who don’t want to be called themselves as Bihari. I can recall one of the incidents. There was a guy in our Institue named Pankaj Jha. One of friends asked him "<em>Kaha Ghar padega?</em>"(thats a typical question that you will encounter whenever a bihari meets another).<br />
His reply was Kolkata.I started laughing-Yeh Kolkata mei kab se Jhaji rehne lagey.Then he said that "I am BASICALLY from Darbhanga but studied in Kolkata".<br />
Thats how it goes.<em><strong>Litti Chokha zindabad!!!</strong></em>Hope to see another glorious period like the Maurya dynasty!!!</div>
