Chanakya is the author of the famous classic book " Arthashastra " .

 

 

Chanakya had his education at a famous school in a city well known

in those days as Takshashila ('Taxila'). The teachers at Takshashila

were great scholars known all over the world. Students from

different parts of Hind went there for their education. Even kings

sent their sons for education there. It is said that a certain

teacher there had one hundred and one students and all of them were

princes!

 

Generally a student entered the University of Takshashila at the age

of sixteen. The four Vedas, archery, hunting,elephant-lore, and

eighteen arts were being taught there.

 

The faculties there, which taught law, medicine and warfare, were

famous not only in Hind but also abroad.

 

Such was the center where Chanakya had his education. With this

education, his inherent brilliance because like a polished diamond.
