Book Description
Also known as Kautilya or Vishnugupta, Chanakya is considered as the pioneer of the field of political science and economics in ancient India. He was a teacher, economist, philosopher and royal advisor. He is the one who uprooted Nanda Dynasty and formed a mighty Maurya Empire putting Chandragupta Maurya to the throne. On having gone through this one of the master pieces of history, one can easily conclude that Chanakya was beyond doubt a versatile genius. By writing ‘Arthashastra’ and ‘Nitishastra’ he had become a never ending phenomenon. He has truly guided the generations with his wisdom. It was very difficult to make out what was going on in his mind; so secretive was he in his methods and far sighted. There was no branch of knowledge which he had not mastered. This book is an attempt to elaborate the existence of Chanakya, his sensibility, visions, attitude, management skills, policy, administration; strategy of war and various other aspects of his personality.
