* Description: Chanakya is an English translation of Sahitya Akademi Award-winning Assamese novel. The dark and stormy night when a 12-year-old Vishnugupta climbed up the wet and moss covered peepul tree by the river bank with the stench not only of bird-droppings but the rotten beheaded head of his father...the scholar Chanakya; the story of the life of Chanakya begins. Rulers can not only make but also destroy a nation's life. It is this whirl of life and circumstances that take the boy Chanakya to Taxila University, where with the passing of time he became a literal harbour for his students. This is the theme of Chanakya. Vishnugupta (or Chanakya) manages with time to wipe off the infamy that the name of Magadha clings on to! Aryavarta comes alive through each word and page of the novel, Chanakya.
