SynopsisChanakya Chant is a spellbinding story which runs on two timelines of ancient and modern India. The story begins back in 340 BC with the life of a young Brahman boy, whose father is murdered. The boy, deeply saddened, spends time planning and plotting the revenge of his father and ends up becoming one of the most intellectual people in ancient India, Chanakya. After creating political strategies, keeping Alexander the Great out of the country and crowning Chandragupta Maurya as the emperor of the Mauryan Empire, Chanakya pens down his knowledge in the Arthshastra.
