A ruler should appoint as counsellor one who respects him, one who is learned and one who is free from fraud. Factors which create discontent amongst the people: dishonouring respectable ones, estrangement of elders, nepotism, falsehood, etc. He who punishes mildly is despised. A ruler should be approached like fire. A weak ruler, even if learned, is not respected by people. A good ruler is devoted to truth and righteousness, defeating enemy forces and protecting his territory righteously. Protector of the orphaned, refuge of the refugees, guide to the afflicted and frightened, support of the unsteady, the friend, the relative, the master, the benefactor, the teacher, the father, the mother and the brother to all. Punishment of the wicked, rewarding the righteous, development of state revenue by just means, impartiality in granting favours and protection of the state. He gives up wealth in favour of the needy, loves virtue, enjoys pleasure in the company of friends and relatives, is anxious to learn the sciences and is a fighter in war. Learned one should control his senses, knowing the aptness of time and place, and accomplish all tasks. He believes in getting up in time for fighting, division of responsibility amongst allies and enjoyment after attacking oneself.

This has definite managerial implications. The Arthashastra was composed after analyzing various works on statecraft by different masters and numerous dharmashastras to improve the performance or effectiveness of the state and to study norms and strategies of managing the state. It does not necessarily provide norms and strategies of managing the state, nor does it provide a complete picture of the practised management at that time; however, it does give a fair idea of systems, roles and duties as well as values of leadership expected of authority. The title ‘Arthashastra’ means the science of expanding the kingdom or land. It is also the science of material gains, but it does not correspond to economics, as it is understood these days. Although many scholars feel that Arthashastra did not attach any significance to the means to achieve the goals and it lacked any pretence for morality, or altruism, yet Arthashastra depended on situational elements. Arthashastra did advocate a high degree of fairness and justice on the part of the king. It ennobled learning and aggrandized a lot of the good qualities of a leader. At the same time, Arthashastra did not purport to be a treatise on morals or metaphysics. In other words, while addressing itself to the ideals of Vedantic literature, it compromised on practical grounds in situations of exigency and emergency on the standards of morals for the purpose of achieving any expected goal of the state. It has been sometimes described as ‘a school of double standards’. Yet Kautilya in Arthashastra, in spite of the ruthlessness of its pursuit of expansion and growth of kingdom and loyalty to the ruler, advocates all the good virtues which are essential in keeping the society intact. We will examine this point in more detail as we go into the details of its management system. Arthashastra’s system could be analyzed in the following broad categories:

China holds the key to regional stability in Asia and is inching ahead to become a peer and competitor of United States or the global influence in the next century. The extent to which it adapts its armed forces is thus of considerable significance. However, for India and its armed forces, China is an enigma. India is still not conscious of the impact of the changes in the security environment on its northern borders that are under dispute.

These places have Pakistan Government nominating representatives to Pakistan’s ‘Majilis-i-Shora’. This was obviously a move to annex and merge these parts with Northern part of Pakistan.

However, evidence suggests that these areas were part of Jammu and kashmir and hence parts of India. These are in Focus due sudden rehtoric by pakistan on Kashmir.
