The present volume is the proceedings of an International Seminar on Arthasästra conducted by me and my colleagues on October 18-19, 2005. The seminar became a venue for the discussion of Arthasästra, the seminal text of ancient Indian polity from a multidisciplinary perspective and it was our singular fortune that we could ensure the participation of distinguished scholars like Francis Zimmermann, M.G.S. Narayanan, M.R. Raghava Varier, K.N. Ganesh, Rajan Gurukkal, and Veluttat Kesavan, apart from veteran and young Sanskrit scholars, to make it a memorable event. The seminar validated one basic assumption of us: justice can be done to works like Arthasästra only when they are studied by various scholars drawn from disciplines as diverse as Sanskrit, textual criticism, history, anthropology, economics, and political science.
