C: Chanakya’s Chant (2022 A-Z)
Chanakya’s Chant
“Ramaiyya, could father really have done this? This cruel?” He croaks, broken. The incriminating letter carrying the news of his dead betrothed floats to the ground.
His eyes cloud over, anger simmering beneath the surface. I say a few words of comfort and just the right words to instigate.
The boy makes up his mind. He shall contest and win against his father. Aruna’s death shall not go in vain.
I chuckle; the politician’s jilted servant will have his revenge. 3000 kilometers away, Aruna’s flight has landed. Everyone can be bought, however you just need to know the right price.
Chanakya’s Chant is one of the very few Indian author written fictions that I genuinely enjoyed. The book races like a well-played game of chess, where characters become pawns and events become moves, it’s a great depiction of how someone extremely clever and shrewd can control the turn of events. Hence, business schools, global ones even, reference Chanakya in their talks!

You are definitely adding to my reads. The last line was perfect in current scenarios.. sad but true.. And you as usual superb D!!
I personally feel there is a Chanakya in every human being even as a child, it just gets intensified on the scale of one’s need and greed. Keep going 👏👏👏
I’m intrigued! I usually think twice about buying historical fiction but will pick this up!
The 100 word story is on-point and yes, money can almost buy everything nowadays! Well written Deepa!
I am intrigued. This book goes into my to read list . Well written Deepa.
I have read this book. Good page turner.
Will definitely give it a read! Thanks for the recommendation.
It’s sad that money can buy almost everything. And sad that politicians are well, the way they are. Will check out this book.
See you around the A-Z challenge!

Chanakya is considered one of the most shrewdest… they say all’s fair in love and war, but ultimately it affects someone’s life
So well summarised, short yet making me inquisitive to read this book. Chanakya niti so old yet so relevant.
Heard about Ashwin Sanghi but didn’t get a chance to read this. Never thought of it as fiction!

Thanks for suggesting…seems to be a interesting read…..
Well written… for this generation Chanakya niti is being played by big tech and social media… tapping into our deepest emotions to make us dance to their tunes.
I’ve got this book actually on a relative’s recommendation but couldn’t progress much. It felt like a movie screenplay when I started with a few pages and I thought I’ll wait for the movie 🙂
Didn’t know it’s won so much praise.. Someday then.. Thanks for the recommendation!
Haven’t read the book yet. But it seems really interesting, will definitely read. Thanks
