Usually, I'm very dove-ish with demands or friendly asks. I value diplomacy points highly.
Getting techs to trade is much easier than making friends...
What stops me from handing out techs completely like popcorn is if the tech makes my target stronger, or if it would jepordize some goal of mine (winning lib, getting a wonder etc) OR if it upsets someone else.
Here, Bella seems to be a lost cause... She will likely be a isolated (or almost isolated) hindu.
I think I would have traded maths for IW with charly as soon as math was discovered (was that impossible)?
Then tried to get alpha for math+IW with Bella.
As it is now, I would tell Bella to take a hike, and then try to get IW from her.
*Edit* Gifting math to Charly to hopefully get up to pleased could be an option. *Edit*
