Book Trailer: Chanakya's Chant by Ashwin Sanghi

The year is 340 BC. A hunted, haunted Brahmin youth vows revenge for the gruesome murder of his beloved father. Cold, cunning, calculating, cruel and armed with a complete absence of accepted morals, he becomes the most powerful political strategist in Bharat and succeeds in uniting a ragged country against the invasion of the army of that demigod, Alexander the Great. Pitting the weak edges of both forces against each other, he pulls off a wicked and astonishing victory and succeeds in installing Chandragupta on the throne of the mighty Mauryan empire. History knows him as the brilliant strategist Chanakya.

But history, which exults in repeating itself, revives Chanakya two and a half millennia later, in the avatar of Gangasagar Mishra, a Brahmin teacher in smalltown India who becomes puppeteer to a host of ambitious individuals—including a certain slumchild who grows up into a beautiful and powerful woman. Modern India happens to be just as riven as ancient Bharat by class hatred, corruption and divisive politics and this landscape is Gangasagar's feasting ground. Can this wily pandit—who preys on greed, venality and sexual deviance—bring about another miracle of a united India? Will Chanakya's chant work again?

See the video trailer of Ashwin Sanghi's thriller (releasing Jan 2011) set to the studio recording of "Chanakya's Chant" composed by Ameya Naik and sung by Kushal Gopalka.

@iamkusum Interesting bharat.gov.in and india.gov.in. To me as well Bharat sound better.

@kulkarnisaur Actually at least video quality should have HD option as well.

i am reading this book and is very interesting... but now i am seeing this video and its utterly disappointing... next time please get in touch with professionals for such things. you are ruining a good book with such bad visuals...!

Ashwin ji- question for you: the only thing is that why we don't use still the word Bharat for India...its that our constitution says...."India, that is Bharat".... we could be called "Bharatiyas" just like - Nepali's or Pakistani or Chinese. The trailer makes us feel that Bharat was old name for India...but that is not true. Even we have two govt. websites...india.gov.in and bharat.gov.in! the former in English and the later in Hindi. why not just one website?
