Just found out about Arthashastra
Did ancient jeets really invent economic theory and machiavellianism? Have anyone here read it?

1. They didn't invent either of those things.
2. Ancient jeets were not the same as modern jeets.
3. No.

This word gave me cancer. Well done, faggotry speed run achieved. Machiavelli was a classical republican, and there are many early pragmatic books, but few misread as badly as the prince.

Yeah it really is crazy how India went from a respectable and capable civilization to being the laughingstock of the entire world. Hope they someday recover

Thing is, there was no such thing as India up until very recently, the Indian Subcontinent was populated by a multitude of peoples of diverse ethnicities and races, each having their own civilizations and languages. India as the current unified entity was never great, there were civilizations in that area that were great though. Today's jeets are nothing but mongrels.

Probably the Southern parts since they were the furthest away from trade routes and most isolated. Furthermore, South Indians are a whole other race to North Indians, more closely related to Aboriginals than Caucasians.

there were also sea routes going the other direction to the arab countries. if anything the gangetic plain is more isolated since it's hemmed in by the himalayas and also further away from sea-based trade

In the Bronze Age and probably later mist of modern India and Pakistan were ruled by a small population of Europeans. The caste system started as a racial apartheid

It' not about Economic Theory in literary sense. It' more about State craft and related theories. For example - How a King should behave ? What should be his primary duties ? What should be the parameters to be a king ? It' basically Art of War, but not about only war but everything related to state craft. Kautilya dedicated a whole segment to Municipalities and their officers.
The only economic part of this book is the taxation part.
I wouldn't say that our Ancient people invented economic theory or machiavellianism, cause that existed in other civilizations too. For example - Greek Civilization. But it was definitely important.
Read Megasthenes for better understanding of this as he happened to live in India at that time.

This is more just a test of basic critical thinking skills.
Do you think the route between europe and china is heavily used? If so, do you think convenient land ports on or near that route are heavily used? If so, clearly southern india is a major trade hub

The modern Indian is a genetic Frankenstein of Aryan, Scythian, Greek, Kushan, Arab, Mongol, and Afghan blood. He is the most mutted creature in existence: a chimeric abominaton made from multiple cursed sperm: a physical and spiritual mutant whose optimal place for living are the irradiated field of Chernobyl.
The only intact Indians on the subcontinent are the Tamils, the Bengalis, and other black negroid races. It's funny that these negroid created the first civilizations in India, civilizations advanced enough the have toilets, and then the Aryans, so glorified by Indians, rolled in, instituted the caste system, and made everyone worship cows and their shit. It's like your glorified Aryan ancestor was the first and most catastrophic mistake for India: a scatophilic necrophilic zoophilic nepotistic retarded steppe nigger that couldn't figure out indoor plumbing. And you worship him. Sad.
