Concerning Guilds
Book 11 me Kautilya ne sanghas ke baare me bataya hai, ye koi rajneeti ki kitab nahi hai. Sanghas wo groups hain jo milkar power rakhte hain aur ladai me strong hote hain. Isme bataya hai ki inhe kaise control karna hai ya todna hai. Kautilya kehte hain ki pehle inke families ko alag alag kar do. Phir kisi royal claimant ko front pe laga do taaki log divide ho jayein. Pious leaders ko influence karo taki wo side badlein. Jaise hi koi group maan jaye, unhe funds do aur support karo. Ye book log isliye padhte hain kyunki isme power dynamics ka practical detail hai. Aaj ke corporate politics me bhi ye cheezein kaam karti hain.
