Chanakya Niti (Telugu)

Chanakya was an Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor. He is traditionally identified as Kau?ilya or Vishnugupta, who authored the ancient Indian political treatise, the Arthashastra. As such, he is considered the pioneer of the field of political science and economics in India, and his work is thought of as an important precursor to classical economics. His works were lost near the end of the Gupta Empire and not rediscovered until the early twentieth century.
Chanakya assisted the first Mauryan emperor Chandragupta in his rise to power. He is widely credited for having played an important role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire. Chanakya served as the chief advisor to both emperors Chandragupta and his son Bindusara.

Chanakya was the teacher of Chandragupta Maurya. He served in the court of Chandragupta and Bindusara. According to George Modelski, Chanakya is believed to be the same as Kautilya, a Brahmin who served as Chief Minister to Chandragupta as he founded the Maurya Empire.
