Kautilya Arthasastra (in 2 Vols.) Collection of Articles from the Indian Historical Quarterly, Indian Antiquary etc.

The articles in this volume first appeared in the reputed research journals like Indian Antiquary, Indian Historical Quarterly, Calcutta Review, and Indian Culture which have ceased to exist and are not easily available. These articles by celebrated scholars like Shamasastry, Hermann Jacobi, N N Law and V R R Dikshitar will provide the readers a feel of the excitement and heat generated by the rediscovery of the Artha? stra in 1905. This volume includes a lively debate between N N Law and Shamasastry on the problem of translation of the Artha? stra. Multilinguist scholar Benoy Kumar Sarkar provides a glimpse of Artha stra studies in German and Italian languages.
