JackSeal Posted December 25, 2022 Report Posted December 25, 2022 Chanakya or Chanakya-like person does not exist in any Mauryan epigraphs and documents. In fact, the Arthashastra—the treatise of material affairs, which is attributed to Chanakya—was written after the fall of the Mauryan empire to serve a small kingdom. When it was discovered by colonial historians that the first greatest empire in the Subcontinent was established by the Mauryans who belonged to the Shudra class and not the Aryan one, the Brahmins—and their Baidya and Kayasth popats, who are Wannabe Aryans or Brahmins—became anxious and upset. So the Brahmin historians and Sanskritists discovered the Mudrarakshasa, projected it as a contemporary Mauryan document, and established a fictitious character named Chanakya the Brahmin as the real founder of the Mauryan empire. Then hundreds of books, articles, dramas, movies, and soaps were produced to popularise Chanakya. Quote
