ABOUT THE BOOK
navigating power―and using it responsibly.
Sama, Dama, Danda, Bheda brings Chanakya’s timeless wisdom to modern readers, offering insights for engaging with people, institutions, competition and complex situations in an ever-changing world.
Drawing on the Arthashastra, this accessible and practical guide reveals how these ancient strategies can sharpen decision-making across leadership, business, governance and geopolitics. At its heart is a compelling question: how can power be exercised effectively while remaining aligned with Dharma? Part cultural classic, part strategist’s handbook, the book transforms Chanakya’s ideas into tools for understanding influence, negotiation, authority and human behaviour.
