I've noticed throughout the series, Chanakya's philosophy can be related a lot of times. Just have a look:
- “Learn from the mistakes of others, You can’t afford to make them all on your own” – Chanakya
In game of thrones you cannot afford to make mistake.
- “Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.” – Chanakya
Power resides where people believe it resides. Recall the puzzle Varys told to Tyrion Lannister.
- “There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.” – Chanakya
Wish Robb & Catlyen would have read this. Walder Frey forgave him for reason.
- “As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it” – Chanakya
As soon as you confirm Dany is alive somewhere, kill her or you know what happens.
- “The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you”- Chanakya
Seems like Ned was admirer of Chanakya. Well played Ned.
- “As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family” – Chanakya
Remember Joffery? He killed Ned. Enough said.
- One whose knowledge is confined to books and whose wealth is in the possession of others, can use neither his knowledge nor wealth when the need for them arises” – Chanakya
Little finger I'm talking about. Every GoT fan must have come to know what's going to happen to him in next episode (7th). You can relate this.
- Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends” – Chanakya
Neither Tywin did this nor did cersei!
- “A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.” – Chanakya
Catlyen was good wife, even though I don't know about night stuff.
- Never be too honest. Straight trees are first cut and honest people of first screwed.
- “Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth” - Chanakya
Tyrion Lannister. He is not handsome and tall, but he has educated mind.
