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. http://www.freeindia.org/biographies/greatpersonalities/chanakya/page 5.htm --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
