Indian Political Thought

The king who keeps united in him his subjects divided by different interests, like the ocean receiving in the end the waters of various rivers, the courses of which are different from one another, enjoys his power, undisturbed by foes and lives to a good old age. In politics, as in everything else, in the choice of political method, as in every other choice, a man needs sound thought to make right action. Why I have cited the above mantra is because a political ideology to be worth while must have its roots in the past of the nation. Aim of this volume is to provide to our readers a cross section of material on the subject and place them in proper perspective. Effort has been made to cater to the needs of the students and teachers.
