Review Date: 28 May 12
The graph just rises
The history of chanakya available in general domain is more about his book the great arthashastra or his political wisdom and not much about his personal life. Chanakya's story and the way he plays his chess to make sure that Chandragupta becomes the Emperor of India is well presented. The current day version in the novel I thought was a little simplified for the sake of convenience of presentation although the author took great pains to to make the readers understand the intricacies of contemporary politics, What was really impressive was the way it was subtly conveyed that for the greater good of the society a small disadvantage/damage caused to an individual(s) is a sacrifice that sometimes becomes unavoidable.
I recommend a thorough read. I wish someones makes this into a movie, somehow I was imagining Paresh Rawal for Ganga sagar/Chanakya and Nana Patekar for Ikram Bhai. Hritik Roshan for Chandragupta and Chitrangadha for Chandni
