Indians believe Shri Rama to be a noble King. Ramayana also describes him to be an Ocean of Compassion. Can we expect him to invade neighboring kingdoms without valid reasons. Here, at the request of Yudhajit, the maternal Uncle of Bharata, sends Bharata with large forces to invade Gaandhara country (also called Gandharva dees`a, the present day Kandahar in Afghanistan). The object was to annoint Bharata's sons: Taksha and Pushkala as Kings of the newly conquered territory. May be Shri Rama wanted to show his gratitude to his brothers Bharata, Lakshmana, and Satrughna for their support to him during his 10,000 years rule. As a token of that, he has conquered neighboring countries, and created kingdoms for his brothers' sons. Or may be, Shri Rama wanted his sons Kusa and Lava to rule Ayodhya without obstacles from collates i.e. Lakshmana's sons, Bharata's sons, and Satrughna's sons.
Bharata fights a fierce battle of seven days, uses weapons like "Samvarta Astra" and annihilates Gandharvas. He builds there two cities:
1. Takshasila for his elder son Taksha
2. Pushkalavati for his younger son Pushkala.
