Account of town planning in ancient india in kautilya's arthashastra

Answer 1

The Arthashastra (IAST: Arthaśāstra) is an ancient Indian treatise on statecraft, economic policy and military strategy, written in Sanskrit.[1][2] Likely to be the work of several authors over centuries,[3] Kautilya, also identified as Vishnugupta and Chanakya, is traditionally credited as the author of the text.[4][5] The latter was a scholar at Takshashila, the teacher and guardian of Emperor Chandragupta Maurya.[6] However, scholars have questioned this identification.[7][8]
