Answer:

Kautilya is well-known as ‘Chanakya’ was a political advisor and minister of Indian king Chandragupta Maurya. He advocated unification of India through centralized government by acquiring military might, economic strength and geographic expansion because he considered territory as a material wealth of a nation.

Following dictates of realpolitik, Kautilya advocated merciless political decision-making in order to confront challenges of the given period. He wrote ‘Arthashastra’ around 300 BC as a political treaty and advisory text for his king.

During that period, India was facing sever attacks and military encroachments from the descendants of Alexander The great and Persian Kings. This scenario posed a two-front threat to the establishment and unification of the Hindu Kingdom in India. Chandragupta followed Kautilya’s philosophy and unified India into a strong centralized state through the conduct of national politics and foreign policy as explained in Arthashastra.
