MY WORLD
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS ABOUT THE WORLD OF THIS NOVEL. ANY SIMILARITY TO REALITY IS BEACUSE INSPIRATION OR COINCIDENCE.
1. DHARMA
Dharma in one word means duty. And it's never changing, always the same.
If you search for its translation the answer you will find in your language is religion. But that's not true. While religion is created by man , Dharma is eternal. The literal meaning of dharma is to uphold, possess and bear , all in one.
What and how
i. Thus it is the eternal duty bound to anyone.
ii. It originates from the nature of the thing or person. It also comes from roles, positions or professions e.g. the position of a king has already defined duties, Rajdharma.
iii. One person always have to uphold different Dharmas e.g. a father is also a husband and he also could be a king. His duties to these different roles are different thus different Dharmas.
iv. ( Spoilers)
2. KARMA
Karma means works or deeds or doings.
Whatever one does is his Karma. He will get the results of his doing no matter what. If you do some bad works and some good works you will get the results for both of them. Thus it is the eternal theory of " ACTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES". It is calculated on the influence caused by ones work. It also decides ones birth.
3. CLASSES
Classes are divided on the basis of qualities and works. These classes decide the basic sector in which one should work or be a part of. No class is above other as they all are the basic pillars of society in terms of life. One who discriminates on the basis of his class shall be punished and banished from society. Same can be said for people do not fulfill their own duty and try to encroach someone else's.
i. SEEKERS are people who pursue knowledge. This knowledge is complete knowledge. Someone who pursues knowledge shouldn't pursue power or money. He should spread his knowledge for free.
ii. PROTECTORS are people who pursue power. This power must be used to protect and not used for senseless slaughter. He must do his duties of protection without expecting praises or compensation.
iii. MERCHANTS OR VANIKS are people who pursue money. This money must not be earned by cheating or corruption. Their duty is to bring prosperity to the society.
iv. WORKERS are people who pursue their own works within the boundaries of dharma. They are servicemen, industrialists, farmers or any work that is necessary for a societies to prosper and be sustainable.
DIVISION OF LANDMASS
The planet's name is Dharitri but it is generally called Earth. Why? It will be answered in the story. The basic regions in which the land is divided are---
GRAM - VILLAGE OR TOWN
KSHETRA - BLOCK OR SECTOR
JANPAD - DISTRICT OR CITY ( generally district headquarters are big cities)
MAHAJANPAD - KINGDOM
TITLES OF WARRIORS
These titles denote the general power level of warriors not their position in society. There are no restrictions on the number of warriors one region can have. (These names are given by me so don't search their meaning as they are more symbolic than literal.)
1. VEER- A basic soldier
2. VEERVAR - A warrior who can defeat ten soldiers( Veers) in any condition.
3. PATTI - A warrior who can defeat ten VEERVAR in any type of fight. He is a village level threat.
4. GAJ - A warrior who can defend any village against MINIMUM 10 PATTI
5. GAJPATI - A warrior who can defeat 10 GAJ and is able to defend a KSHETRA( sector) alone against them.
6. ADHIPATI - A warrior who can survive against 10 GAJPATI alone and is able to sense GAJPATI anywhere in his JANPAD ( District).
SEEKER TITLES
Now I could call every SEEKER a SEEKER but that doesn't sound right. So here are hierarchical titles for them. Only the last two of them are generally used as honorifics.
JIGYASU- One who is curious about knowledge
VIDYARTHI - a student, one who is learning
VIDWAN- one who is well read and completed his education
GURU - A TEACHER. One who has accepted information he had read and turned it into knowledge, he has got is able to preach and teach it
GURUVAR - One who understands knowledge and has acquired wisdom.
( People should understand the difference between knowledgeable and informed & intelligent and wise. )
