Chanakya Disappoints

Chanakya Neeti disappoints..I am just a few chapters into the book but Chanakya seems to be a male chauvinist...Though the translator of verses argues it may be because of the era that Chanakya belonged to, great philosophers and gurus have always condemned the wrong in the society and shown the right path. But here he sees women just as an object, a living being to have sex and produce his children. Though at many places he says man has to protect woman even when selling all his wealth, he also says if it comes to him then he can abandon the woman in his life. There are a few other verses too that disappointed me, but I shall add more on it later. But yes, there are few gems as well, as he himself says even if you find nectar in poison accept it. So let us just take what seems right..More on this later as it is time for me to retract to my world of dreams..snorrrrrrrrrrrr...
