Kautilya, often referred to as the 'Indian Machiavelli', is a pivotal figure in the study of statecraft, with his work, the Arthashastra, predating Machiavelli's writings by 1800 years. While his contributions are celebrated in India for their sentimental and nationalistic value, they are frequently overlooked in analytical comparisons. This book delves into Kautilya's extensive theories and their significance, highlighting the broader scope of his ideas on governance and strategy compared to Western counterparts.
