Chanakya Neeti: Key to Success

Chanakya, also known as Kautilya and Vishnu Gupta was not only an Indian teacher, philosopher, and royal adviser; he was a real political strategist who has an important role in the establishment of Mauryan Empire. Chanakya was the chief advisor to Chandragupta as well as to his son Bindusara. Two great books are attributed to Chanakya, one is Arthashastra and the other one is Chanakya Niti, also known as Chanakya Neeti-Shastra. Chanakya’s Arthashastra throws light on monetary and fiscal policies, welfare, international relations, and war strategies. On the other hand, the Chanakya Niti is a collection of aphorisms, believed to be carefully chosen by Chanakya from various Shastras.

Here we present a few Chanakya Neeti lessons.
