Chanakya Neeti is a book with almost 17 chapters with the Sanskrit Sloga and their Explanation in English.
Chanakya is the advisor of the first emperor of India, Chandra Gupta Maurya and his son Bindusara. He wished to have a self-dependent economy that is not entirely dependant on export. He said to Nandha king there are a lot of foreigners who try to invade and we should unite with all other kings of the provinces in Bharath to safeguard and protect from invaders. Nanda humiliated him saying he was ugly. Chanakya made a vow saying I will end your dynasty. He did with the help of Chandragupta Maurya. I am saying a lot about Chankaya than on this book. Let me summarize Chanakya Neeti.
In most of the section in this book, he says the importance of education. Education is very important and it helps to earn wealth. He says how a king should rule, people are the important asset of the king and he should treat everyone equal. Wealth is also important because no one will hear our words unless we are wealthier. People believe the words said by a wealthier person and follow what they say so one should gain knowledge on how to acquire wealth. He says to offer charity, donate to those who suffer not to those who have.
This book gives you the idea to live an ideal life.
