Chanakya at National Centre for the Performing Arts

Chanakya a great statesman, a visionary and arguably the first patriot of the country, who single-handedly carved India (as we know it today) out of the chaos of infighting and exploitation by the regional kings of the time.

Love for one’s society and nation is the greatest virtue as nationalism elevates an individual from his mundane existence and improves his quality of life. Patriotism binds an individual to his society and inspires the strong to work towards the betterment of the weak. The play Chanakya brings the man who advocated these sayings to life once again, but in the modern context.
