  1. Anish Dutta –

    Fascinating insights into ancient Indian political strategy! Kautilya’s wisdom is surprisingly relevant even today. Highly recommended.

  2. Mansi Bharti –

    A solid overview of Kautilya’s work, but it could have been more engaging. It felt a little too much like a textbook.

  3. Prabhu Mehrotra –

    Boesche makes Kautilya accessible. I was impressed by the clear writing and insightful connections to contemporary politics.

  4. Shekhar Singh –

    A must-read for anyone interested in political science or Indian history. Kautilya’s ideas are both brilliant and unsettling.

  5. Naveen Kumar –

    I struggled with the book. Not because the content wasn’t interesting, but the language was too complex.

  6. Harshit –

    Roger Boesche successfully connected Kautilya’s ancient wisdom to modern strategic thinking and the interplay of politics and economics.

  7. Utkarsh Kumar –

    Loved it! Explains everything in a simple manner. I am very happy.

  8. Shibam Saha –

    Provides great context. Learned a lot about ancient Indian political thought. Worthwhile and insightful.

  9. Abhishek Kumar Thakur –

    A dense but rewarding read. Boesche does a great job connecting Kautilya’s ideas to modern political thought. Some parts were a bit dry, though.

  10. Shivam Aditya Singh –

    I found the book informative, providing a different perspective on leadership, although some of the concepts were repetitive.

  11. Karan Khurana –

    An interesting exploration of the Arthashastra. Boesche’s analysis is thorough, but the book can be quite academic at times.
