“Young chess players will find their match here: a legendary strategist who fights with plans, not swords. Watching him plot several moves ahead is the real thrill.”
One insult from a king. One vow. One empire in the making.
The Life of Chanakya is a graphic novel biography of the scholar and strategist who, by tradition, helped found the Mauryan empire.
While still young, Chanakya vows to bring down Dhana Nanda, a rude and unworthy king. That vow turns him into a master planner and leads him to a young cowherd named Chandragupta. Meanwhile, in the north-west, Alexander's army is worn out after its battle with King Porus.
Why readers love it
- A night in Alexander's tent, as he scoffs that his weary men now fear "snakes and shadows".
- A dramatic cover: Chanakya in rudraksha beads, a young warrior pointing ahead and a Greek horseman behind.
- A golden back cover of Chanakya and a young companion gazing at a distant palace city.

Quick answers
Is Chanakya the same person as Kautilya? Tradition says so, and the back cover uses both names, though many historians doubt it.
Is it all history? Not quite. Little is firmly known about Chanakya, so his story comes mostly from legend, told here as a dramatic adventure.
