It is said that Chanakya was born in 350 BC. The exact place of his birth is still uncertain, it can only be said that he was born in the vicinity of Rawalpindi (then Takshashile) or present Patna (then Pataliputra) in Pakistan. His birth name is Vishnu Sharma. He also had the name Amshu. Father was a sage named Chanaka (there is also an argument that Chanaka was not Chanakya's father but Guru). Chanakya because he was his son and Kautilya because he was born in the Kotila gotra. These names are popular today.

Chanakya was a great sociologist

The time has come to overthrow the ruling kings and build a politically and economically prosperous India. My aim is to protect my motherland from foreign invaders and give it a secure administration.' 2300 years ago, a professor of Taxila University left for Pataliputra after taking such a vow. His name is Chanakya. Chanakya, known to all with his long spreading crest, bald head, and implacable stern face, was the country's first economist, sociologist, political thinker, diplomat, teacher of life, and what not.

There is a legend about Chanakya

Chanakya walks away in a frenzy after being insulted by Mahananda Raja. A foot stumbles in the grass in the commotion. Chanakya stumbles and falls. Then he stands up and bends forward angrily, with equal concentration and uproots not a single blade of grass. A young man sits at a distance and watches it. He respects Chanakya. Goes and brings Chanakya to his house. The name of the person who brought it was Chandragupta, who was waiting to take revenge on Mahananda. Such a friendship developed between Chandragupta and Chanakya, Chanakya took another oath saying 'I will not tie my Shiksha until you get the kingdom', then worked day and night for it and gave Chandragupta the kingdom. With this story prevalent in history, the life story of the great sociologist Chanakya unfolds.

Chanakya is known for swearing. Chanakya is known for his strategy. Chanakya is known for his strict practicality. Don't be too straight, be a little crooked, because the butchers cut the straight tree, Chanakya, the man who gave the life lesson very bluntly. He was the first ethicist in our country who said things as they were without any pretense of being politically correct. Perhaps he is the very first freedom fighter this country has ever seen. Around 350 BC, Chanakya made a bet that India should be freed from foreign invaders and the citizens should be freed from the misrule of the cruel kings in our country. Chanakya recorded in Arthashastra and Niti Shastra thousands of years ago about how the rulers should run the administration and how the people should live, by teaching the two great lessons of economics and ethics to the world. They are still read as the world's best economics and ethics texts. An attempt has been made in this work to tell the life story of Chanakya in brief and summarize his teachings in a bird's eye view.
