Who opined that 'for a saint it is right to see the same in every person - but for a ruler and soldier it is great fault and can be a source of disgrace' ?

  • A.Shukra
  • B.Kautilya
  • C.Kissinger
  • D.Raymond Aron

Answer: B

The statement that for a saint it is right to see the same in every person but for a ruler and soldier it is a fault, is from Kautilya in the Arthashastra, which holds that a king has to distinguish friend and foe and to judge persons by their conduct. Shukra is the author of the Shukraniti, which is another Indian text on polity, and Kissinger and Raymond Aron are twentieth-century western thinkers, so they would not have given this saying on saints, rulers and soldiers.
