Why Kautilya insists the themes of violence, conspiracies and espionage ?

  • A.It is a practical way to run Government.
  • B.It is a diplomatic strategy.
  • C.It is a matter of normal administration.
  • D.It is concerned with morality.

Answer: A

Kautilya insists on violence, conspiracies and espionage because they are a practical way to run the government. The passage says he recommended such measures only against enemies and traitors in emergencies, as means of protecting the state.

A diplomatic strategy is wrong because the passage ties the measures to emergencies against enemies and traitors. A matter of normal administration is wrong because they are for exceptional cases. Concerned with morality is wrong because the passage says politics and ethics do not mix easily in his thinking.
