Product Description

Rakshasa’s Ring

The aristocrat who wrote this vigorous political play eschewed sentimentality in favor of realistic characterization and forceful action. It is 316 BCE, one year after ChandraÂ·gupta Maurya, aided by his subtle minister ChÃ¡nakya, has seized the kingdom of MÃ¡gadha from the last king of the Nanda dynasty. RÃ¡kshasa, Nandaâ€™s incorruptible minister, flees abroad and plots his vengeance, while ChÃ¡nakya seeks to win him over to honor ChandraÂ·gupta Maurya as his new king.
