Description: Chanakya's ChantBy Ashwin Sanghi In the historical fiction novel "Chanakya's Chant" by Ashwin Sanghi, readers are transported back to the year 340 BC in Bharat (ancient India). The story revolves around a young Brahmin youth who is driven by a deep desire for revenge after the brutal murder of his father.

Through his wicked and astonishing victory, he successfully places Chandragupta on the throne of the mighty Mauryan empire. Chanakya's brilliance as a kingmaker satisfies him, but he soon grows bored. He retreats into the shadows, dedicating his time to writing the Arthashastra, a treatise on the "science of wealth."However, history has a way of repeating itself, and two and a half millennia later, Chanakya is reborn as Gangasagar Mishra, a Brahmin teacher in small-town India. Gangasagar becomes a puppeteer, manipulating a host of ambitious individuals, including a slum child who grows up to be a powerful woman.
