Saam Daam Dand Bhed : Chanakya Neeti.

* readers discretion advised ***
There are four ways for making someone to do a task, stated as “Saam, Daam, Dand & Bhed”. This sutra by Acharya Chanakya is used worldwide. why? It works and is highly practical. For those who don’t know can refer to the list included in the section below:
·         Saam: to advice and ask
·         Daam: to offer and buy
·         Dand: to punish
·         Bhed: exploiting the secrets
The foremost thing that must be accomplished is to tell the person about the task to be performed. Upon rejection, your move will be to explain the validity of your point, profit-involved and consequences.
Example: telling a kid about the significance of good habit & nature.
If the person understands, then that’s well and good else try Daam over him/her. Money is not everything but it can do miracles. This idea is quite similar to that of bribe. The point to be noted here is that the concept of ‘Daam’ is just not related to monetary aspects. Its far more than that i.e. its about utilizing all types of greed in that person.
Example: telling the kid that he will get a chocolate for doing good deeds.
If even this fails then comes the time to implement Dand witch refers to punishment and can be applied to appropriate levels.
Example: Restricting that kid from watching TV and playing video games. 
Anyhow, it can also fail in many scenarios. Now come the mighty ‘Bhed’. This is the stuff that works every time without a single miss. The whole idea is about exploiting the secrets of the targeted person. The various kinds of implementations will vary as per the situation. I hope no more explanations is required regarding it.
It is a bit disappointing to find people misusing the very concept of  “Saam, Daam, Dand & Bhed”. Better utilize it for a good cause. It is not the weapon, but the intention of its handler that counts.
* The concept of Chanakya neeti explained above must be understood in a broader sense.

* Always abide by the law & order and be helpful to others.
