Q2 Who said as in note wear and tear for a remote? We doubt pressing
the key but only the remote. And that is the way any car owner in any part
of the world will do. And this is a matter here.

Q5 The problem is without going into the right aspects of sending some
materials. In the world the worst soldiers were Roman and then the Hitle
rGerman. Both followed the same techniques of fear to win.
The excellent soldiers were right from Ramayanam but Arthasastra
devised a battalion who conquered the earth out of the love for the King.
Military organisation in ancient India was maintained by the state. At a
later date the organisation also included the commissariat and medical
personnel. The Senani-Quarter-Master General looked after the comfort,
welfare and health of troops. The Superintendent of Stores supervised the
commissariat department also. He arranged for necessity supplies and
ensured the preservation of water, food and fodder, clothing, arms and
other equipment including transport during operations. Transport animals in
use were horses, elephants, camels, oxen and donkeys. They helped in the
carrying of the wounded from the field to the rear areas, procuring water
for the use of the army and conveying arms and other stores to the front
line. Physicians with surgical instruments, medicines, oils for massage and
bandages and women with cooked food and beverages, remained behind to
provide relief and encouragement to the wounded. Further, there was a corps
of physicians in the Mauryan times also.
According to Kautilya
<https://www.indianetzone.com/34/kautilyam_chanakya_indian_mythology.htm>'s
Arthashastra, a good army had to be ever ready to obey the commands of its
leaders under all circumstances and be able to operate in all types of
tracts. It also stated that an efficient army could even exercise the
functions of a minister. As mobility was more and more the requirement of
warfare with the formations of larger kingdoms, the chariots retreated into
the back-ground until they disappeared altogether from the battle-field in
the seventh century. In their hey-day, however, they were considered
superior to all the other arms. Moreover, in a battle a chariot was an
autonomous fighting unit. It contained two drivers, two archers with bows
and arrows and two men with shields. Usually, a chariot was drawn by four
horses. During the reign of Chandragupta Maurya the chariot was a lighter
vehicle and had only three men in it - a driver and two fighting men. It
was pulled by two and in some cases four horses. Until recently these
chariots could be seen in some of the Rajput states in their full glory on
certain ceremonial occasions.
In military organisation in ancient times, with the shift of emphasis,
cavalry and infantry continued to grow in stature until the latter became
the queen of the battle-field and the former its gallant cavalier. During
the Maurya Empire <https://www.indianetzone.com/5/maurya_dynasty.htm> the
cavalry had reached a high standard of efficiency. Under Chandragupta Maurya
<https://www.indianetzone.com/7/chandragupta_maurya.htm>, the military
organisation was really large that included a force of 30,000 cavalry,
20,000 infantry, 8,000 chariots and 6,000 elephants. The cavalry had the
most important function to perform. It included exploitation of the
captured territory including positions, camps and forests, holding of
strategic positions such as water tanks, fording places, destruction or
protection of the commissariat and of reserve troops, superintendence of
the discipline of the army during battle, defence of the borders and
imparting the initial shock to the enemy. During defence the troops was
given the task of holding a given piece of ground to force the enemy to
take a desired direction, to attack in the rear and then pursuit. Shock
tactics of the cavalry included running against, running round, running
beyond, running back, disturbing the enemy's halt, gathering the troops,
curving, circling, clearance of the rear, pursuit of the line from the
front, protection of the defeated and retreating army and falling upon the
retreating enemy. The smallest unit of the army was a party of ten men
under a commander - padika. A Senapati had ten padika under him. There were
ten senapatis under a Naik. The Naik of Mauryan times had ten thousand men
under him.
Military organisation in ancient times also included a large number of
animals. They played a great role. Like for instance, elephants led the
attack by providing a solid front. These animals have figured prominently
in almost all important battles in the country. During assault they were
used to break up the enemy's ranks and also for smashing fort gates and
other obstacles in front of the forts and fortifications. They also helped
in crossing impassable and unaffordable rivers by forming a bridge. These
animals were again the undoing of the Indian side during the Battle of
Hydaspes against Alexander. The elephants again played a vital role in
repeating their earlier performance some 1800 years later at the First
Battle of Panipat <https://www.indianetzone.com/10/first_battle_panipat.htm> in
1526 and then again in 1556 at the same battlefield.
Moreover, the Nitiprakasika and Sukraniti have also given elaborate and
varied details of the various divisions of the army. According to the
latter, a sergeant had five or six soldiers under him. The captain or
satanika commanded one hundred such soldiers. To help the king in the
training and administration of the army two more officers were detailed.
They were anusatika responsible for the training and the senani for the
administration and general comforts of the men. The lekhaka served as a
clerk and maintained all the records. A commander of twenty elephants or
horses was known as a naik.
II According to the most well-known version, the mutiny originated in a
group of Roman <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Republic> garrison
soldiers wintering in Campania <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campania> to
protect the cities there against the Samnites
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samnites>. Subverted by the luxurious living
of the Campanians <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campanians>, these
soldiers conspired to take over their host cities. When the conspiracy was
discovered, the conspirators formed a rebel army and marched against Rome.
They were met by an army commanded by Marcus Valerius Corvus
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Valerius_Corvus> who had been
nominated dictator <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dictator> to solve
the crisis. Rather than do battle, Corvus managed to end the mutiny by
peaceful means. All the mutineers received amnesty for their part in the
rebellion and a series of laws were passed to address their political
grievances. All preserved accounts of the mutiny were however written
several hundred years after the events they describe. Modern historians
have found many elements in the classical accounts resembling the civil
strife of the Late Republic
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Republic#Late_Republic_(147%E2%80%9330_BC)>
which
they consider anachronistic to the Roman Republic of the late 4th century
BC. KR IRS 25 7 23
