Chanakya, the greatest statesman, a political strategist is the one who created a nation out of squabbling kingdoms, will never be born again, but his thoughts are arguably even more relevant to say so than in his time... the resonance of his thoughts reach us from the distance and till date inspire us. What was his thirst for? Kingdom? Power? Comforts? Wealth? Was he the miscreant content only in senseless violence? If he had any of these desires, than he would not have inspired so many generations. He was a rare mlange of supreme intellect, insightful dreams and audacious sincerity towards the heartfelt cause. And his cause was to create a strong, unified and prosperous great nation named BHAARAT. Chanakya's sincerity & knowledge gave him the dominion over one and all which transformed people into protagonists. Chandragupt started as a timid prey and ended being the greatest sovereign of history due to Chanakya's strong influence. Chandragupt ended the cruel and selfish rule of Nandas and established the eminent Mauryan clan under the guidance of Chanakya. Chanakya was one such person who could correctly interpret the past and envisage the future to decide the right course for the present. The internal discord, the external threat, the polluted politics and the despicable corruption of public servants. Was this the scenario in the time of Chanakya? Or, are these the headlines of today's newspaper? The fabric of this once magnificent society is being corroded from within and outside. Only the austere and serious adherence of Chanakya's thoughts and concepts can restore this society to its previous glory.
