This article analyzes the Kautilyan nature of the state; it would be complete by directing the thoughts of the Arthashastra on the nature of the state. Several questions appear: Was the state an absolute monarchy wherein the ruler’s statement stood the ordinance? Was it a monarchy punctuated by a practice of checks and balances, a limited monarchy? Was it a benevolent monarchy, or could it be defined as a welfare state? Was it a centralized bureaucratic condition or a pluralist decentralized system of governance? Was Kautilya’s state a federation or unitary in its setup and function? Historians are not unanimous, and even the Arthashastra is not wholly free from the vagueness of these questions.
Keywords:
Kautilya, Arthashastra, State, Welfare, Nature.
