Hi,
Sidhu,
Swapna is right! Chanakya's principles and teachings are still followed in the present world and they will remain as relevant as they were in ancient times. In fact, because he could have written something so true to the present world such a long time ago, is why he's most respected and even finds a way in the Bachelor of Management Studies course curriculum subject - Indian Management Thoughts & Practices, where most of the teaching come from Bhagavad Gita!
Regards,
Vinisha.

Hi Sapna
Good one . you really have good collections. I afuuly agree with chanakya. though it is old it is true even and will be true even in future. the only problem with us is, we dont value whatever is in our backyard but move round the world to find the simple truth. and regret that we didnt pay attention !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chanakya quotes! quite interesting... old is definitely as good as gold anyday; however the irony I see here is that woMen seem to be supporting Chanakya and his views better than the Man who tries to mention that this is a path to be treaded carefully... Chanakya cares a Goddamn about woMen and is a known misogynist who seems to have got the attention of women in this post. Think that old values, culture and traditions lie inherent in all of us... a proof being this post itself... as they say a Man has to be Man enough for woMen to look upon him as one.
