Chanakya The Mastermind | In Telugu By Karthik Bharatham

History is written by Kings, but the history of India was written by a Teacher. Chanakya (Kautilya) is the most enigmatic figure in ancient history. Was he a ruthless manipulator or a pragmatic visionary? In this episode, we strip away the folklore and TV drama to find the real man. We decode his masterwork, the Arthashastra, to understand the cold, hard logic he used to unite a fractured subcontinent against the threat of Alexander the Great. This is not a story; this is a political case study. We explore his origin, his ruthless "Law of the Fish" theory, the 7-Limb blueprint of the State, and the geopolitical "Mandala" theory that is still relevant today.
