Arya Chanakya Essay Competition Kautilya as we are aware, is one of the very few personalities who is respected and revered for his intellectual capabilities not only by Indian but also the western Scholars. He was well versed in commerce, warfare, Politics, Economics and Vedas. Kautilya is credited for writing few impressive works. Arthshastra and Neetishastra which is also known as Chanakya Niti are two of the seminal works of Kautilya. He had a grand vision of building an empire encompassing the whole of Indian-subcontinent, prosperous (freedom from wants), secure against foreign threats, crime-free (freedom from fear), internally stable, and based on secular virtues. Additionally, Kautilya’s Arthashastra has emerged as a manual on promoting Yogakshema - the peaceful enjoyment of prosperity- of all the people.
