There actions, talks are so impressive, professional and true looking that in most of cases act of manipulation is always successful and also remans unnoticed till the manipuleter achieve their motifs.

Example of manipulation of the situation?

A famous epic story in which Dronacharya was told by Yudhistir ( known for speaking only truth) to manipulate the war situations to defeat Dronacharya during war by fake news of death of his son Ashwatthama, who was immortal. Pandavas cheated Dronacharya by falsely spreading the news of death of Ashwatthama, who was immortal.

When Drona asked Yudhistir the truth, he said two sentence,

Sanskrit- "Ashwatthama hato iti,

Naro va Kunjaro va"

(Ashwatthama died for sure,

but it was either human or animal).

Manipulation was done by Yudhistir by saying first sentence loud and clear, second sentence was deliberately not so loud. He just whispered the second line, so that it couldn't be heard. The invincible Drona, having so much faith on Yudhishthira that he forgot his son was blessed with immortality, gave up the arms and was killed by Drushtadyumna. It was true that Ashwatthama was killed but it was an 'Elephant' named as Ashwatthama.
