Chanakya Neeti Chanakya was an Indian teacher, philosopher and royal

Chanakya was an Indian teacher, philosopher and royal advisor.

He managed the first Maurya emperor Chandraguptas rise to power at a young age.

He is widely credited for having played an important role in the establishment of the Maurya empire, which was the first empire in archaeologically recorded history to rule most of the Indian subcontinent.

Chanakya is traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta, who authored the ancient Indian political treatise called Arthasastra.

As such, he is considered as the pioneer of the field of economics and political Science in India and his work is thought of as an important precursor to classical economics.

Chanakya Neeti is a treatise on the ideal way of life and shows Chanakyas deep study of the Indian way of life.

Chanakya also developed Neeti Sutras (aphorismspithy sentences) that tell people how they should behave.

Of these wellknown 455 sutras, about 216 refer to rajaneeti (the do, S and donts of running a kingdom).

apparently, Chanakya used these sutras to groom Chandragupta and other selected disciples in the art of ruling a kingdom.
