ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Chanakya (Sanskrit: चाणक्य; 375–283 BCE) was a multifaceted ancient personality in India, taking on roles as an educator, author, strategist, philosopher, economist, legal expert, and royal advisor. He is traditionally known by other names like Kauṭilya or Vishnugupta. Chanakya authored the Arthashastra, an ancient Indian manual on politics and governance, dating roughly between the 4th century BCE and the 3rd century CE. His work pioneered the fields of political science and economics in India, significantly shaping classical economic thought. Chanakya played a pivotal role in facilitating the rise of the first Mauryan emperor, Chandragupta, and is widely recognized for his vital contributions to the establishment of the Maurya Empire. He held a crucial advisory role for both Emperor Chandragupta and his successor, Bindusara.
