How is it that most of the raagas rendered in Karnatik music are in the sudha madhyamaum segemnt? There are vey few in prati madhayamam and are far outnumbered by the sedha madhyamam segment. Any reason evolutionary,scientific or otherwise?

Harmonium doubt
Recently I got a liking to pursue harmonium as hobby and baught one. I had the basic
such as the notaion of swaras and finger numbering from soundindia.com, but no further guidance.
Could any one clear my simple doubts?
What I know
Fingers are given numbers 1 2 3 4 5 starting from thumb
The 12 keys in the middle is one Octave. It is devide to 2 blakck keys and 3 black keys
S starts from the white key left to the first black key and the finger sssignment are as follows
S-1 Rr-2 Gg-3 m-1 P-2 Dd-3 Nn-4 S'-5 capitals are Suddha and small are theevra
Doubts
1 In another case M is given 4. Is this the case for all ragas wher madhyama is theevra?
There too which finger goes to the succeding P D etc
2. When the swara extend furter to thara and mantra how the clash in the S is negotiated? I mean fingers 1 and 5 are given for the same swara
3 which keys are marked to which fingers in the folloing sequense
m P G m, m G P m
S m R P G D, D G P R m S
R N','N R
'N S R G, G R S 'N
N S' R', R' S' N
