Arthashastra and yet lack of political leadership in SA

[W.11]

Arthashastra was a political science in south asia, this tradition probably emerged as early as 5th-6th century BC as 14 older teachers/ schools of thoughts are mentioned including brihaspati (mentioned by Bhasa). This gave birth to a state entity called the Nanda empire and then the mauryas. As early as 6th century BC powerful indian king's opinion was sought in conflicts in western asia (mentioned by Xenophon)

A region which gave birth to such political thought process is today devoid of any political depth and weak leadership.

what can be done to remedy this situation?

[Chhatrapati]

Arthasasthra belonged to that particular era, now it's a general sense among rulers. What's the point of learning it all over again, something people already know from their experience.

Wasn't Bhasa a Sanskrit playwright?

Ref?

Yes, Mahapadma Nanda was probably the first large swathe conqueror and unifier of India. The same Nandas(most probably a son of Mahapadma Nanda was ruling at that time) who ruled Northern and Central regions of India when Alexander invaded and who decided to retreat eventually.

But I'm not sure if what you say i.e Arthashastra or its teachings is related to the rise of the Nandas.
