Chanakya (c. 350-283 BC) was an adviser and prime minister to the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta (c. 340-293 BC), and architect of his rise to power. Kautilya and Vishnugupta are traditionally identified with Chanakya.
Chanakya, also known as Kautilya or Vishnugupta, is often considered the Machiavelli of India. He was a prominent ancient Indian philosopher, economist, jurist, and royal advisor known for his treatise on politics and governance called the Arthashastra. Like Machiavelli, Chanakya emphasized the importance of practicality and realpolitik in achieving and maintaining power.

The author was Vishnugupta Chankya; also known as Kautilya, the great political theorist and Chief minister of Chandragupta Maurya. The 'Arthashastra' of Kautilya is a work of unique merit with detailed information on polity and administration. It may be noted that the book envisaged a comprehensive control on the economic life of the people even in those early days of 325-320 BC.
The real name of Chanakya was Kautilya, and he is also known as Vishnugupta. He was an ancient Indian philosopher, economist, and statesman, best known for his role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire and for his work, the Arthashastra, which is a treatise on statecraft and economic policy. Chanakya is often regarded as one of the earliest advocates of political science and economics in India.
The Arthashastra was written by Kautilya, also known as Chanakya, an ancient Indian philosopher and scholar who served as the chief advisor to the Mauryan emperor Chandragupta.
Chanakya, also known as Kautilya, is the author of 'Arthashaasthra'.
Kautilya was the chief adviser to the Emperor Chandra Gupta. Historians give him credit for much of the emperor's success. Kautilya served as an adviser, teacher and minister. He was born in 350 BC.
kautilya
Kautilya, also known as Chanakya, and Machiavelli are compared because both authors wrote influential works on politics and statecraft. They both focus on the importance of power, leadership, and practical strategies for ruling. However, Kautilya's "Arthashastra" is rooted in ancient Indian philosophy and ethics, while Machiavelli's "The Prince" reflects Renaissance-era Italy.
