1. Consider the quotation at the start of the chapter and
discuss in several groups. Compare your observations and
conclusions on what Kauṭilya recommends for a kingdom.
Is it very different today?
Answer: Kauṭilya recommends for a kingdom:
-
A good kingdom should have forts, fertile land, forests, mines, and pastures.
-
It should not depend only on rain, but have good water sources.
-
Roads and waterways must be well-built for easy movement.
-
A strong economy with a variety of goods is important.
