Did Chanakya actually exist? The full evidence file on Chanakya and Chandragupta Maurya - Buddhist, Jain and Puranic texts, the Greek records of Justin and Megasthenes, and the copper plate at the centre of the argument.
Tarun Bindlish is joined by researcher Harry Sahota for an intense evidence-first investigation into Chanakya, Chandragupta Maurya and the Maurya Empire.
🔥 5 MIND-BLOWING REASONS YOU MUST WATCH
1️⃣ Did Chandragupta even HAVE a Brahmin advisor? Buddhist, Jain and Puranic texts agree on nothing else - so why does this detail survive in all three?
2️⃣ Chanakya, Kautilya, Vishnugupta - one man or three? Five Puranas name one. Jain and Buddhist texts name another. One shloka connects them.
3️⃣ Did he actually WRITE the Arthashastra? It refers to Kautilya in third person - and the answer sits in its very first verse.
4️⃣ Is there anything written while he was ALIVE? A Greek ambassador lived in Pataliputra and wrote it down. Only 10% survives.
5️⃣ Is there archaeological proof? Four lines of Brahmi on a copper plate from UP, in a museum today. Who it names is the whole argument.

इस एपिसोड में चाणक्य और चंद्रगुप्त मौर्य के अस्तित्व के प्रमाणों की पड़ताल है। बौद्ध, जैन और पौराणिक ग्रंथों से लेकर जस्टिन और मेगस्थनीज़ तक, हर दावा स्रोत सहित रखा गया है। सोहगौरा ताम्रपत्र वह साक्ष्य है जो चंद्रगुप्त और उनके मुख्यमंत्री दोनों की ओर संकेत करता है।
