My Rating - 1/5
Having read the original work of Kautilya in the form of Arthashashtra, the cover and title of this book looked intriguing at the first place. And that was that. Simply put, it is just a deliberate repackaging of the original works of Kautilya which certainly dealt with the idea of the State and it's components. But if you look at it, any entity, be howsoever small, can draw parallels from the original work. Just the jargon had to be modernized and eureka, you have this book. At the end the author even attempts to attain the wisdom of Chanakya and offers one suggestion to the readers that they should gift this book to people at their workplace. Duh, at least make it more subtle brother. Would not recommend if you have already read the Arthashashtra.
