Abstract

Chanakya was recognised as an extraordinary tactician and a brilliant individual. Arthashastra, his magnum book, has a comprehensive account of his sagacity and strategies. The Arthashastra outlines an overarching strategic plan. These techniques apply to economics, politics, and foreign policy and are unchangeable notions. They are relevant in today's world and can be used effectively to address the difficulties that many countries face now while also achieving long-term benefits. The treatise contains three interwoven principles that follow a natural evolution from one to the next: politics, economics, and foreign policy. This study provides a thorough examination of the functionality and significance of each part of the Arthashastra and demonstrates its relevance even today.
