Chanakya Neeti by Chanakya (duh!!) is a one time read. I expected great things from this book, on the lines of 'The Art of War'. However I was let down by the basic tenets posted in this book. Most of the advice in this book is common sense. The bias towards the holier than thou attitude of Brahmins and the way women are treated as carnal objects and troublesome will put many people off from reading this book to the end. These biases may have existed in the times of Chanakya but in the present time these biases are junk.
