Download or read book Kauṭilīya Arthaśāstra Revisited written by Surendra Nath Mital and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In This Book S.N. Mital Examines In Detail And Refutes The Views Held By Many Scholars That The Text Of Kautiliya Arthasastra Was Not Written By A Single Author And That The Date Of Its Composition Cannot Be Attributed To A Single Century. The Book Has Been Primarily Written As A Reply To T.R. Trautmann'S Kautilya And The Arthasastra, In Which He Tried To Prove, With The Help Of Statistics, That The Arthasastra Was A Compilation Of Writings By Three Or Four Authors, Edited By Kautilya. This View Was Based On An Analysis Of The Frequency Of The Use Of Ca (And) And Va (Or) In Different Portions Of The Arthasastra. Trautmann Also Seems To Have Used This Argument To Maintain That The Arthasastra Was Composed Sometime After The Second Century. Mital Tries To Show, Through His Own Collection Of Statistics, That Trautmann'S Thesis Is Misconceived And That Va Was More Frequently Used In Those Portions Of The Text Where The Subject Treated Is Primarily Political, And Ca Was More Frequently Used Where The Discussion Is Primarily Theoretical, And So This Difference In The Frequency Of Use Of Va And Ca Does Not Indicate Different Authors. Mital Asserts That The Arthasastra Was Written By Kautilya In The Fourth Century Bc, As Is Generally Supposed, And Not In The Third Century Ad, A View Propounded By Some Western As Also Some Indian Scholars Who Wrote In The 1920S And 1930S.

Book Synopsis Kautilya's Arthashastra by : Medha Bisht
Download or read book Kautilya's Arthashastra written by Medha Bisht and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines in detail the strategic relevance of the Arthashastra. Attributed to the fourth century B.C., this classical treatise on state and statecraft rests at the intersection of political theory and international relations. Adopting a hermeneutic approach, the book discusses certain homologies related to concepts such as power, order, and morality. Underlining the conceptual value of the Arthashastra and classical texts such as Hitopdesha and Pancatantra, this volume highlights the non-western perspectives related to diplomacy and statecraft. It shows how a comparative analysis of these texts reveals a continuity rather than a change in the styles, tactics, and political strategies. The book also showcases the value these ancient texts can bring to the study of contemporary international relations and political theory. This volume will be of interest to students, scholars and teachers of political studies, Indian political thought, and philosophy, South Asian studies, political theory and international relations.

Jahanbegloo, an Iranian-Canadian philosopher and Gandhi scholar, raises interesting questions about the seeming contradictions of life in India: the long history of religious tolerance juxtaposed with growing religious fundamentalism, democracy being challenged by a persistent caste system, the Indian ethos of equality contested by the low status of women, affluent urban areas that contrast with the impoverished rural tracts, among other issues.
Book Synopsis Arthashastra of Kautilya by : Dr. Suresh R
Download or read book Arthashastra of Kautilya written by Dr. Suresh R and published by Vij Books India Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is true that in the study of Political Science, International Relations, Public Administration, and other related discipline Arthashastra is yet to receive due recognition in India and abroad. In this context, the Indian Institute of Advanced Study (IIAS) Shimla had hosted a two-day National Seminar on 'Reflections on the Relevance of Arthashastra in the 21st Century' This volume is the collection of selected papers presented at the national seminar. The relevance of Arthashastra in the contemporary world has been well explored in the seventeen articles categorized in three sections. The first part deals with the relevance of Arthashastra in the present century. The second section of the book deals with foreign and security policy, strategic culture as portrayed in Arthashastra. The third section of the book deals with Human Rights, Women's Status, Good Governance, Tax, and Treasury as reflected in Kautilya's Arthashastra.
Book Synopsis Kautilya’s Arthashastra by : Kajari Kamal
Download or read book Kautilya’s Arthashastra written by Kajari Kamal and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies India’s foreign policy through the lens of Kautilya’s Arthashastra, an ancient Indian treatise on state and statecraft. It assesses the extent of influence of the foundational elements/core beliefs extrapolated from the Arthashastra on the nation’s international behaviour to understand the grand strategic preferences of independent India. The volume examines the basic realist and cultural underpinnings of statecraft such as Yogakshema (Political End Goal), Saptanga (Seven Elements of State), Sadgunyas (Six Measures of Foreign Policy), Rajdharma (Duty of a King), Rajamandala (Circle of kings), and Dharma (Order), mooted in the Arthashastra which have withstood the test of time and space. It evaluates the continuity of strategic cultural traits under the themes of nonalignment, bilateral relations with China and Pakistan, and nuclear policy. An important intervention in the study of India’s foreign policy, the book will be useful for scholars and researchers of foreign policy, defence policy, international relations, defence and strategic studies, political science, Indian political thought, political philosophy, classical literature, and South Asian studies.

Book Synopsis Democracy Revisited by : Sujit Kumar Chattopadhyay
Download or read book Democracy Revisited written by Sujit Kumar Chattopadhyay and published by Literatureslight Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democracy Revisited is a critical as well as uncritical approach to the study and review of democracy today. The objective of the first chapter is to deal with some theoretical reasons of the decline of democracy such as lack of holistic approach, omission of civil society and varied forms of democracy. Out of many theoretical defects the book especially highlights the problem of precision regarding the meaning and nature of democracy and omission of civil society in democracy. Omission of civil society in democratic discourses has been a direct cause of the decline of democracy. That the people are ignored in practical democracy is due to the fact that civil society is absolutely omitted from the democratic narratives. The book also highlights some of major practical problems that are downgrading the importance, implication and relevance of democracy today in reality. Such practical problems are corruption, rule of the elites in lieu of rule of the people, inequality of race, gender and religion and lack of leadership. Under this perspective, it is necessary to have an open look towards the positive points of democracy. Since, there is no much better alternative than democracy we must have to highlight its strong points such as scope of debate, discussion, participation and formation of opinion by which democracy can be a people-friendly political system as well as an ideology and a cultural practice. Thus, this book is not only a criticism of democracy, but also a call for revisiting its strength by which democracy can still claim to be a suitable alternative of all types of statecraft, political systems and social and cultural pattern of life.

Download or read book The ARTHASHASTRA written by Kautilya and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2000-10-14 with total page 1001 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary detailed manual on statecraft and the science of living by one of classical India's greatest minds; Kautilya; also known as Chanakya and Vishnugupta; wrote the Arthashastra not later than 150 AD though the date has not been conclusively established. Legend has it that he was either a Brahmin from Kerala or from north India; however; it is certain that Kautilya was the man who destroyed the Nanda dynasty and installed Chandragupta Maurya as the King of Magadha. A master strategist who was well-versed in the Vedas and adept at creating intrigues and devising political stratagems; Kautilya's genius is reflected in his Arthashastra which is the most comprehensive treatise of statecraft of classical times. The text contains fifteen books which cover numerous topics viz.; the King; a complete code of law; foreign policy; secret and occult practices and so on. The Arthashastra is written mainly in prose but also incorporates 380 shlokas. Artha; literally wealth; is one of four supreme aims prescribed by Hindu tradition. However; it has a much wider significance and the material well-being of individuals is just a part of it. In accordance with this; Kautilya's Arthashastra maintains that the state or government of a country has a vital role to play in maintaining the material status of both the nation and its people. Therefore; a significant part of the Arthashastra has to do with the science of economics. When it deals with the science of politics; the Arthashastra describes in detail the art of government in its widest sense—the maintenance of law and order as also of an efficient administrative machinery.
