Conversation with Radhakrishnan Pillai
Introduction
‘Who was Chanakya?
‘He was one of the greatest thinkers India has produced. He was a master of many subjects. No, no…I correct myself…he was a master of all subjects.’
These were the words of the vice chancellor of a university when he was launching my book.
I had just then completed taking a series of lectures for about 300 students, on Chanakya and his ideas being applied in professional careers.
When the vice chancellor said those words, it hit me hard that there are few parallels in world history who could speak on so many subjects—philosophy, public administration, military, warfare, economics, politics, strategy, taxation, law, crime and control, punishments, duties of individuals, gemology, Ayurveda, Yoga, etc. The list goes on.
