Kautilya's Enduring Legacy: India's Democratic Spirit and Global Peace Vision

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar spoke on Thursday about India's commitment to global peace, fraternity, and welfare, referencing Kautilya's ancient insights during an event in New Delhi.

Highlighting a multipolar world with shifting alliances, he described India's unique understanding of global dynamics. Dhankhar pointed out Kautilya's view of a neighboring state as an enemy and an enemy's enemy as a friend.

The Vice President lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for embodying Kautilya's philosophies in his governance model, emphasizing that democracy thrives when it respects the limitations of power, a principle deeply rooted in India's Vedic traditions.
