| Introduction He vowed to dethrone the haughty king who was harassing the people of the land. After fulfilling that vow, he made Chandragupta, the Emperor. He brought Amatya Rakshasa from the enemy camp to serve as Chandragupta's Prime minister. His 'Arthashastra' is a classic of statecraft and is reverently studied even in Europe and elsewhere. Chankya is the personification of statesmanship, political craft, spirit of adventure and unyielding perseverance. Author - B.N.Gundu RaoChanakya On the banks of the river Ganga stood the city of Pataliputra, also calledKusumapura. In front of a choultry in the city, a man walked as if in haste, on a hot afternoon. He was a brahmin, with bright and shining eyes.
