About the Book

An exhaustive Kautilyan administrative system, incorporating multi-dimensional parameters of police, defence, espionage, counter-espionage, punishments, judicial process — both criminal and civil, finance, economy, trade, intelligence, and the entire gamut of home and foreign affairs, including the executive machinery, inter alia, the king — ruler of the state, and its subject, and the methods of ensuring their sustained beneficence, well-being and protection have been discussed in this book. The prevalent abhorable conduct of public servants and their despicable and disparaging attitude and apathy towards public interest and their lawful needs, and ways of keeping them in check are not very much different from those expressed by Kautilya in this flower of Indian Political Thought — the Arthasastra in the antiquity of 330 B.C. Its essential aim is the welfare of the subjects together with the advancement of the state. Its teaching, which is based on the very realities, cannot be rendered superfluous in view of the existing and unavoidable rivalry and the struggle for supremacy between nations. Contrarily, it has crowned perennial and sublime glory on this treatise and its progenitor KAUTILYA, the GREAT.
