Kalijug by Nrisingha Prasad Bhaduri [Hardcover]

"The concerns about the Kali Yuga, repeatedly mentioned in the Puranas, were not entirely absent even in those times. By analyzing texts like Kautilya’s Arthashastra and Shukradeva’s Shukrasar Niti, the author has successfully conveyed two main ideas to me:

• As a civilization, the Indian subcontinent was quite advanced, and many principles that we consider part of modern statecraft were actually practiced in this region long ago.
• Every society harbors some anxiety about the future, and signs of today’s concerns often reflect extreme versions forecasted for later periods."
