Do you think this is a good land to settle in? Why?

Solution
The laws of Andher Nagari are unreasonable and unfair; thus, it is undoubtedly not a nice place to settle down. The basic sense of belonging to a society is absent from the people there. The King and everyone who lives there adhere to strange laws and twisted reasoning.
