00:00You think of all the classical villains, Ravan, Kansa, Duryodhana, Hiranyakasya, they had a lot.

00:08Ravan was the superpower of his times, Lanka of gold, Hiranyakasya too had a lot.

00:14He had been gifted with blessings. Duryodhana was so powerful.

00:18The question is, what were these people using their power and knowledge and money for?

00:29No, they had a lot, but were operating whatever they had from a bad center.
