"Whilst the world recognises Chanakya's stature as a philosopher, he's nothing more than another example of how our nation (Pakistan) has made someone a pariah without realising what they stood for.

"Chanakya is damned for obvious reasons. He is presumed to be a representative of the Brahmin mindset and Hindu culture which we have parted from a long time ago. Merely this was enough to disqualify him from the stature of a learned philosopher of the soil.

"Hence, not a single reference of him is found in the country, whereas we already have buildings and campuses named after scientists and philosophers from different eras and places."

An interesting read in the Pakistani newspaper, Dawn. Take a look.
