Studies in Ancient Hindu Polity V1: Based on the Arthashastra of Kautilya is a scholarly work by Narendra Nath Law, originally published in 1914. The book is a comprehensive study of ancient Hindu political philosophy as detailed in the Arthashastra, a treatise on governance written by the ancient Indian philosopher Kautilya. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores different aspects of ancient Hindu polity, including the organization of the state, the role of the king, the duties of officials, and the administration of justice. The author draws on a range of primary sources, including the Arthashastra itself, as well as other ancient texts and inscriptions, to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of the political system of ancient India.Throughout the book, Law emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical and cultural context in which the Arthashastra was written, and he provides extensive background information on the society and politics of ancient India. He also highlights the enduring relevance of Kautilya's ideas, arguing that many of his insights into governance and administration are still applicable today.Overall, Studies in Ancient Hindu Polity V1: Based on the Arthashastra of Kautilya is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient Indian history and political philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the evolution of political systems and the role of the state in society.With An Introductory Essay.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
