This book is a Hindi medium (हिन्दी माध्यम) title presenting the चाणक्य नीति of Acharya Chanakya, with a clear Hindi commentary on each sutra, and is meant for general readers as well as students of Indian thought and ethics (नीतिशास्त्र). < cite index="221-1">चाणक्य नीति, also known as चाणक्य नीतिशास्त्र, is a work of niti composed by Chanakya between roughly the fourth and third centuries BCE, and it holds an important place among the niti texts of Sanskrit literature. Written in a sutra style, it offers suggestions useful for making life happy and successful, its chief subject being practical guidance for every aspect of human life. Chanakya's own character stands as a model for teachers and statesmen in any age and any country — his greatness resting on his devotion to work, his exceptional intelligence and his firmness of resolve — and his principles of arthashastra and rajniti-shastra remain as applicable in modern times as they were then. < cite index="222-1">In this niti-grantha the Acharya gathered shlokas and sutras after studying the inheritance left by his ancestors and the religious texts; through them an ordinary person can learn to distinguish what is proper from what is improper, ethical from unethical, wise from foolish, beneficial from harmful, useful from useless. Education receives particular emphasis — his position being that a person's real deliverance lies in learning itself. < cite index="223-1">Chanakya, also known as Kautilya or Vishnugupta, set out a body of thought that people still follow because it helps them avoid many traps and live a contented, peaceful life; the principles are applied today in business, leadership, family life, personal development and human relationships, and they help with achieving goals, self-reliance, decision-making ability and refining one's personality.
