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. 606 $aPolitical science$zIndia$xHistory 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 607 $aIndia$xPolitics and government$yTo 997 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 676 $a320.0934 700 $aChousalkar$b Ashok S.$f1950-$01034850 801 0$bCaToSAGE 801 1$bCaToSAGE 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480491503321 996 $aRevisiting the political thought of ancient India$92454229 997 $aUNINA
