Reflections on Kautilya

By the author :  The subject matter discussed in Arthasastra is quite relevant to the modern times. But unfortunately, it could not find place in modern curriculum Only a few lines found mentioned in the topics on Ancient Polity/Economics etc. This made me to take an initiative to select some of the articles to throw the light on the treasure-trove of ancient wisdom. Thus, fifteen articles are selected by me to bring into a book form. My learned friend Prof. Shashiprabha Kumar at my request has suggested the title “Reflections on Kautilya” to this book and also blessed me with her short and sweet prologue to this work. I express my heartfelt gratitude to her for extending her support throughout my academic journey.

I hope this book works like a torch to focus on the valuable gems of knowledge with which the enthusiastic researches would contribute their best to the society.
