Political Concepts In Classical Sanskrit Literature

This book Political Concepts in Classical Sanskrit Literature by Prof. Dr. Chirashree Mukherjee deals with the notable features of political issues presented in the classical Sanskrit kāvya literature. The versatility of the classical Sanskrit writers is evinced beyond doubt in the matter of politics, in both its principles and practice. The author has done a modest attempt at an analytical and critical study of political concepts as gleaned from classical Sanskrit kāvyas. This book covers a wide range of Sanskrit kāvyas to enrich its content, and the author has left no stones unturned to extract every single political concept from the pages of Sanskrit literary creations, whether they are expressed in the form of epic, drama or prose romance. It is a worthwhile endeavour to delve deeper into the different aspects of ancient Indian polity dealt over in classical Sanskrit kāvyas to address the political sensibilities of our ancient literary masterminds.
