He is best known for his treatise on economics and political science, the Arthashastra, which discusses governance, economics, and military strategy. Chanakya played a significant role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire under Chandragupta Maurya's reign. He is considered a pioneer in the field of political science in India and is often referred to as the Indian Machiavelli for his pragmatic views on statecraft and diplomacy.
