EVEN TODAY HIS NAME IS PRONOUNCED WITH HIGH RESPECT IN POLITICS! BORN AROUND TWENTY-THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO IN INDIA, THIS HISTORIC PROTAGONIST HAS A GLORIOUS AURA AROUND HIM. YET HIS HISTORY IS STILL UNKNOWN. BEING AN ACHARYA OF THE RENOWNED TAKSHASHILA UNIVERSITY AND AN ARDENT NATIONALIST THINKER, HE CREATED A NEW UNIFIED INDIA. HE MADE CHANDRAGUPTA THE FIRST EMPEROR OF THE COUNTRY. HE DESTROYED KING DHANANAND'S TYRANNY AND BY USING SUPREME INTELLIGENT TACTICS MANAGED THE KING'S MINISTER RAKSHAS TO JOIN HIM. THIS IS A COMPLEX STORY OF MANY CHARACTERS WHICH IS BASED ON THE PLAY 'MUDRARAKSHAS' BY PLAYWRIGHT VISHAKHADATTA. THE NAMES OF AMATYA RAKSHASA, SENAPATI BHAGURAYAN, KSHAPNAK JIVSIDDHI, QUEEN MURADEVI, YUVRAJ MALAYAKETU, SPY CHIEF SIDDHARTHAKA, KING PARBATAK, CHANDAN DAS MAY SEEM UNKNOWN, BUT ONCE INTRODUCED, THEY APPEAR FAMILIAR. WHEN THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS IN THE INTEREST OF A NATION, THEN INTELLIGENCE, DECEPTION, DISCRIMINATION, PROPER POLICY PLANNING AND A STRONG SECRET SERVICE BECOME INEVITABLE IN POLITICS. CHANAKYA HAD PROVED THIS IN HIS TIMES. HENCE, THE EXAMPLE OF ARYA CHANAKYA'S CLEVER POLITICS STILL REMAINS RELEVANT IN MODERN POLITICS.
