Is Kalinag supposed to be good or bad? How are Yuma and Kalinag linked

far-cry-4

I have seen Far Cry 4 game walkthrough videos in YouTube. I have some doubts regarding the role of Kalinag.

When the player first plays as Kalinag (in the first Yogi mission), he kills Rakshasas (the bad guys) and finally frees a bell whose sound protects the region later (its sound kills Rakshasas). So here, Kalinag is considered good. But later, in a fight with Yuma (who is linked with Rakshasas), Ajay somehow fights with Kalinag and kills him. Here, Kalinag is shown as being sided with Yuma (who is bad). Can someone explain how Yuma and Kalinag are linked?

I'm not sure if these count as spoilers so I'm tagging them anwyay -

The Kalinag you play in the thangka missions is a hallucination; you're experiencing his story as told by the thangkas. (Trippy, huh.) He was a Kyrati warrior sent to find Shangri-la.

The Rakshasas Ajay goes up against in the jail are probably actually just regular guards - he is on drugs administered by Yuma.

The Kalinag Ajay fights against is Yuma; once again, at that point he is on drugs.

There sure is a lot of fun with drugs in this game.
