| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Kautilya"s Arthasastra composed and compiled, in Sanskrit, between the 4"' Century BCE to the 3"' Century CE, is an exhaustive treatise on statecraft and issues of diplomacy, war, peace. intelligence, security, law, and political economy. Discovered in full text form in the early 1900s and then translated into English and
other languages, it is one gem of political theory which stands out prominently in the corpus of the rich but under-explored indigenous ancient history of India. Johann Jakob Meyer, the German lndologist and translator of the work from Sanskrit to German in 1927, remarked that Kautizya's Arthasastra is not a book but a library of ancient India. |
