Shamashastry published an English translation in 1915 to worldwide acclaim. Until that time, Western orientalists believed that Indian government had copied their structure from the Greeks, following Alexander the Great's incursion into the subcontinent. Now it was plain that the art of government and Kingship was an indigenous achievement, with Greek administrations possibly copying that of India.
This Indian Classic is a unique, comprehensive guide for Kings on the means - foul or fair - of running a viable state. Nothing is omitted, from taxes on prostitutes and care of livestock, through Elephant training, battle tactics and the making of alliances, to the use of deception, threat, and kidnapping to further Royal policy. Also included are magical incantations, and methods of 'neutralising' enemies (as well as 'inconvenient' brothers or sons) by means of ambush, poison, and the use of 'fiery spies'. An eye-opening, amoral discourse on the wiles and stratagems to be mastered by any aspiring conqueror!
