This book throws light on hitherto not very well-known aspects of political ideas in ancient India, which flourished during the 5th and 4th centuries before Christ. Kautilya's Arthashastra is a major text on ancient Indian political thought, wherein he cited views of a number of Arthashastra teachers who had written on political science. Unfortunately, their writings are not available today; only their views are found scattered in different texts. This book brings together these views to prepare a coherent account of their political ideas and reconstructs the pre-Kautilyan Arthashastra tradition with the help of available sources"--cProvided by publisher. 0aPolitical SciencezIndiaxHistory.91430 0aIndiaxPolitics and governmentyTo 997.9987  2ddccBook  00102ddc4070aAEFbAEFd2019-08-20e6g596.25l1m2p4727r2019-11-25s2019-08-30v795.00w2019-08-20yBK
