Lesser-Known Kāvyas on Governance & Leadership | Dr. Vivek Sharma

Описание: Moving beyond the frequently cited Arthaśāstra, this talk by Dr. Vivek Sharma explores the vast and diverse landscape of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) that illuminate statecraft, governance, and leadership through narratives, poetry, and direct instruction.

Through a comparative analysis of texts like the Pañcatantra, Hitopadeśa, Raghuvaṃśam, Kirātārjunīyam, Śiśupālavadha, and Śukanāsopadeśa (from Kādambarī), the presentation demonstrates how classical Indian literature served as both pedagogy and philosophy—teaching diplomacy, ethics, and strategic thinking across generations.

The session contrasts narrative storytelling and didactic discourse, showing how each addressed governance and leadership at different stages of learning—from foundational ethics to advanced political reasoning. By tracing these ideas beyond formal political treatises, Dr. Sharma highlights the holistic and ethically grounded framework of Dharmic statecraft, where literature itself becomes a school of governance.

📜 An illuminating overview of the lesser-studied texts that bridge art, ethics, and administration within the Indic civilizational imagination.
