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.Political scienceIndiaHistoryPolitical sciencePhilosophyIndiaPolitics and governmentTo 997Electronic books.Political scienceHistory.Political sciencePhilosophy.320.0934Chousalkar Ashok S.1950-1034850CaToSAGECaToSAGEUtOrBLWBOOK9910480491503321Revisiting the political thought of ancient India2454229UNINA
