Product Description:
This book is the first ever research effort to explore governance and the civil service in ancient India. From the Vedic texts to the epics, foreign travelogues, and Kautilya's Arthashastra, ancient Indian literature reveals the existence of a well-organized and hierarchical civil service. The book delves into the evolution, nature, scope, and functions of the ancient Indian civil service across different time periods, including the Mauryas, Indo-Greeks, Kushanas, and Gupta periods. The author also examines the ethical and governance norms based on sacred texts like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and provides evidence from inscriptions and numismatics to show how an efficient civil service was crucial to the vitality of the state. This valuable resource is an essential read for scholars of ancient Indian history, political science, and government.
