21.Bhupali, Deshkar and Jait Kalyan, are having same aroha and avroha but Bhupali and Jait Kalyan are supposed to belong to same thaat but Deshkar is in Bilaval thaat. Does this mean ragas from different thaat can have the same aroha and avroha?

To start with I do not believe in the importance of the thaat system. Every raga is a thaat in itself as earlier it meant a scale. Suppose Deshkar belonged to the same thaat as Bhupali, would we play it differently? As long as you are keenly aware of the authentic swaroop of a raga, the concept of thaat system is of no value or significance.
