Description: Chanakya's ChantBy Ashwin Sanghi In the historical fiction novel "Chanakya's Chant" by Ashwin Sanghi, readers are transported back to the year 340 BC in Bharat (ancient India). The story revolves around a young Brahmin youth who is driven by a deep desire for revenge after the brutal murder of his father. This protagonist, with his cold and calculating nature, devoid of any moral compass, becomes a formidable political strategist in Bharat. His ultimate goal is to unite the fragmented country against the invading army of Alexander the Great.The protagonist, known as Chanakya, employs his cunning and manipulative tactics to pit the weak edges of both forces against each other. Through his wicked and astonishing victory, he successfully places Chandragupta on the throne of the mighty Mauryan empire. Chanakya's brilliance as a kingmaker satisfies him, but he soon grows bored. He retreats into the shadows, dedicating his time to writing the Arthashastra, a treatise on the "science of wealth."However, history has a way of repeating itself, and two and a half millennia later, Chanakya is reborn as Gangasagar Mishra, a Brahmin teacher in small-town India. Gangasagar becomes a puppeteer, manipulating a host of ambitious individuals, including a slum child who grows up to be a powerful woman. Modern India, much like ancient Bharat, is plagued by class hatred, corruption, and divisive politics, providing fertile ground for Gangasagar's machinations.Gangasagar, a wily pandit who preys on greed, venality, and sexual deviance, aims to bring about another miracle of a united India. The question remains: can he succeed? Will Chanakya's chant work once again?
