      <abstract>
        <p>The study of politics in a systematized way sprawls in the historic treatises of
both Kautilya and Aristotle. The universal appeal in the ideas presented by
both, labels them as political marvels, keeping the significance of contextual
truths of society. Aristotle and Kautilya teach us the values of self-fulfilment
and self-achievement. This paper is a humble attempt to widen the canvas of
comparative study of both astutepolitical philosophers, teachers and mentors.
The present zest of political inquiry to the comparative study between both
would have far-reaching implications to the body of knowledge. Both, Politics
of Aristotle and Arthashastra of Kautilya are the seminal contributions to the
study of politics.</p>
