Overview

Two thousand years ago, a teacher shaped an empire not through sentiment but through a method. The Kingmakers Code returns to Chanakya and the Arthashastra through the eyes of modern ministers, officers, diplomats, and citizens confronting real crises — a pandemic response unravelling in real time, a border in flames, a corruption file that will not stay closed, a negotiation fought over a single bracketed sentence. Blending narrative, doctrine, and unflinching moral inquiry, this is not a leadership-hacks book. It is a serious reckoning with what power actually costs — and who pays for it. For readers who want to examine power beyond slogans.
