Frases de Kautilya

Cautília, Kautília ou Kautilya , também chamado de Chanaquia ou Vixenugupta, foi um estadista e filósofo indiano dos séculos IV e III a.C. que serviu como primeiro-ministro de Chandragupta Máuria , o fundador do Império Máuria. Ele foi fundamental para ajudar Chandragupta a derrubar a dinastia Nanda em Pataliputra, na região de Mágada. Segundo os historiadores, foi graças a seu trabalho que o Império Máuria sob Chandragupta e Asoca tornou-se um modelo de governo eficiente.

Cautília nasceu no seio da casta brâmane , e recebeu sua educação em Taxasila . É conhecido por dominar conhecimentos de medicina e astrologia, e acredita-se que fosse familiar com elementos da aprendizagem persa e grega introduzida na Índia pelos zoroastristas. A ele é atribuída a autoria de um tratado clássico de político, o Artaxastra , uma compilação de quase tudo que havia sido escrito até o momento na Índia a respeito do artha . Wikipedia

Maxims of Chanakya

“Whoever imposes severe punishment becomes repulsive to the people; while he who awards mild punishment becomes contemptible. But whoever imposes punishment as deserved becomes respectable. For punishment when awarded with due consideration, makes the people devoted to righteousness and to works productive of wealth and enjoyment; while punishment, when ill-awarded under the influence of greed and anger or owing to ignorance, excites fury even among hermits and ascetics dwelling in forests, not to speak of householders.”
