TULSI-PRAJŅA M', 'N'... "X', 'Y', etc. Apasrta army is defeated by one country i.e. 'A'. Atikșipta army is defea C'...
Although, aliksipta has been defeated by many countries, but it does not mean, to be defeated by all countries. So, for both varieties, there are some new countries, to fight with for the first time. In this situation the king should prefer both varieties to allow them for fighting. Therefore, kauţilya's view is not showing a neutral judgement for both varieties, but a little bit partiality for apasrta only.
Any way, at this moment, we are here to amplify a cear idea in the minds of our readers and not to start querrel among the supporters of Kautilya's thoughts. Afterall, Arthaśāstra demands a new ideology to get its proper place in modern politics. We have mentioned earlier that our view goes to a limited area and therefore, here we want to disclose the ideas of Kautilya. In the ancient era, the political situation was not the same like todays politics. Through this great work, we, the citizens of India, can get the real value of our oldest traditional politics and enrich our th: ughts in a greater way. References :
