The Arthashastra of Kautilya emphasizes the importance of diplomacy and the necessity of Sama, Dana, Bheda, and, if not avoidable, Danda Upaya in the neighborhood of the state. Analyzing the contemporary geopolitical take on by India, it is certainly reflecting the impact of these Upayas. The Rajamandala theory conceptualized and the six-fold policies recommended by Kautilya have relevance in today's contemporary world. India is the best example of how to visualize the Rajamandala concentration and the requirements of its various policy decisions to be in line with the various Upayas. India's Avapa shows not so much stability. Even after this, India has policies like the Look East Policy, Think West Policy, and so on. But there is a need to execute more effective diplomacy, increase the development of the economy, and improve the standard of living for Indians. Kautilya's writing represents his views on what should be the priority of a state and how a state has to avoid Vigraha and concentrate on improving the lives of Janapada. India's 75 years of independence show India has always adhered to this policy by having no first war, no first use of nuclear weapons, the Panchsheel agreement, and so on. However, India is the third largest defense spending country in the world, and it is the need of the time, because it is surrounded by the hostile friends.
