Book Description
One of the greatest figures of wisdom and knowledge in the Indian history is Chanakya. Chanakya is regarded as a great thinker and diplomat in India who is traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta. Originally a professor of economics and political science at the ancient Takshashila University, Chanakya managed the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta's rise to power at a young age. Instead of acquiring the seat of kingdom for himself, he crowned Chandragupta Maurya as the emperor and served as his chief advisor. Chanakya Neeti is a treatise on the ideal way of life, and shows Chanakya's deep study of the Indian way of life. These practical and powerful strategies provide a path to live an orderly and planned life. If these strategies are followed in any sphere of life, victory is certain. Chanakya also developed Neeti-Sutras (aphorisms ? pithy sentences) that tell people how they should behave. Chanakya used these sutras to groom Chandragupta and other selected disciples in the art of ruling a kingdom. But these sutras are also relevant in this modern age and are very useful for us. For the first time, Chanakya Neeti and Chanakya Sutras are compiled in this book to make Chanakya's invaluable wisdom easily available to the common readers. This book presents Chanakya's powerful strategies and principles in a very lucid manner for the benefit of our valuable readers.

Book Description
Chanakya Niti Shastra" is written by "Aacharya (teacher) Chanakya". He solved all problems and troubles, which we face in our daily life, does not matter in which field we are working (or belongs to). He gave many quotes and verses to solve our difficult situations of our life. If someone is in a difficult situation and there is no way to get out of it, then through this book, he can end his troubles and get out of the troubles by solving them. You must read a lot of books of different subjects in your school, but you never read single such books which would give you the knowledge of the main subject "Life and Carrier", which can correctly guide you to live life. You will not have read a single book in your school that can guide you that after completing your education, how you should start your life, how to live, how to solve your problems, etc.But Aacharya (teacher) Chanakya has encoded all the experiences of his life in this book and has put it before us so that we can live our life well without much experiences and can face each and every situation and can turn our life in the right direction. He written this book in Sanskrit Language but I translated this in your language, so that you can also read and get benefit from it.Chanakya (c. 350-275 BCE) was an ancient Indian statesman, teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor of the Emperor Chandragupta Maurya. He is traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnugupta, who authored the ancient Indian political treatise, the Arthashastra, a text dated to roughly between the 2nd century BCE and the 3rd century CE. Kautilya was born into a Brahmin family. He was originally from Northern India and was a professor of political science and economics at the Taxila University. He had complete knowledge of Vedas. Chanakya is considered as the pioneer of the field of political science and economics in India, and his work is thought of as an important precursor to classical economics. His works were lost near the end of the Gupta Empire and not rediscovered until the early twentieth century. Arthashastra (Plutonomy) and Neetishastra (Ethics or Policies) his two books cover variety of subjects starting with ethics to economics, politics to philosophy, sex to scholastic. On reading his work there is no doubt that he was visionary and his theories of administration are the best. He was responsible for the overthrow of the last ruler of Nanda dynasty at the start of Maurya dynasty. He played very important part in the establishment, growth and preservation of Maurya empire. He was teacher and mentor to the first Maurya emperor Chandragupta Maurya, who was a ordinary man like us. Chanakya was man of great tactics, who made great contributions and was instrumental in changing the course of Indian history forever. It is said that Chanakya had been personally offended by King Nanda and he had vowed to keep his long "Shikha" (Lock of hair) open till the destruction of king Nanda and the drunken princes. Chanakya helped Chandragupta in raising a large army and defeating King Nanda there by fulfilling his vow. Chanakya proved that intelligence is the most powerful weapon because he ruined the already established Kingdom of King Nanda only by his intellectual strength. He even defeated Alexander by his wisdom and policies. Chanakya functioned as Chandragupta's counselor and advised him in all matters related with state and administration. He was a great thinker and diplomat. His intellectual genius commanded great adulation and respect during his time and subsequent years. He was a great strategist of his time, and also considered as ruthless manipulator who was determined to achieve his goals by using four fold policy of Conciliation, Donation, Punishment and Division ( साम,दाम, दण्ड और भेद). His works of wisdom are more than 2000 years old, but still his teachings are relevant and useful in today's world.

Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Kautilya, also known as Chanakya, is India s most illustrious political economist of all time. He regarded economic activity as the driving force behind the functioning of any political dispensation. In fact, he went to the extent of saying that revenue should take priority over the army because sustaining the army was possible out of a well-managed revenue system.Kautilya advocated limiting the taxation power of the State, having low rates of taxation, maintaining a gradual increase in taxation and most importantly devising a tax structure that ensured compliance. He strongly encouraged foreign trade, basing it on the premise that for a successful trade contract to be established, it had to be beneficial to all. He emphasised State control and investment in land, water and mining. Kautilya was a true statesman who bridged the gap between experience and vision. For Kautilya, good governance was paramount. He suggested built-in checks and balances in systems and procedures for the containment of malpractices. Many postulates of Kautilya s philosophy of political economy are applicable to contemporary times.

The ARTHASHASTRA
Author: Kautilya

ISBN: 8184750110
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 832
Book Description
An extraordinary detailed manual on statecraft and the science of living by one of classical India's greatest minds; Kautilya; also known as Chanakya and Vishnugupta; wrote the Arthashastra not later than 150 AD though the date has not been conclusively established. Legend has it that he was either a Brahmin from Kerala or from north India; however; it is certain that Kautilya was the man who destroyed the Nanda dynasty and installed Chandragupta Maurya as the King of Magadha. A master strategist who was well-versed in the Vedas and adept at creating intrigues and devising political stratagems; Kautilya's genius is reflected in his Arthashastra which is the most comprehensive treatise of statecraft of classical times. The text contains fifteen books which cover numerous topics viz.; the King; a complete code of law; foreign policy; secret and occult practices and so on. The Arthashastra is written mainly in prose but also incorporates 380 shlokas. Artha; literally wealth; is one of four supreme aims prescribed by Hindu tradition. However; it has a much wider significance and the material well-being of individuals is just a part of it. In accordance with this; Kautilya's Arthashastra maintains that the state or government of a country has a vital role to play in maintaining the material status of both the nation and its people. Therefore; a significant part of the Arthashastra has to do with the science of economics. When it deals with the science of politics; the Arthashastra describes in detail the art of government in its widest sense—the maintenance of law and order as also of an efficient administrative machinery.
