====================================================
चरित्र निर्माण is useless waste of time? lol. Chanakya will laugh on your fat ignorance.
====================================================

As per Chanakya, चरित्र निर्माण is important first step to establish pro-people laws and orders. Some mis-guided young activists love Chanakya very well but have hard time to understand Chanakya’s this requirement.

Since they just study Chanakya for own intellectual satisfaction, without love for him, they selectively ignore this important step. They not only ignore it, they make fun of others who are working on this dream of Chanakya.

You need to understand this: Unless and until we have potent citizens understanding important of participatory democracy, it is impossible to gather mass support for laws in their favor. And to do that, we must first give extra efforts in चरित्र निर्माण i.e. True Education.

Chanakya: “Discipline (विनय & विवेक) is important to maintain law and order situation in society. Discipline could be of two kinds : artificial and natural; for, law-drafts can be understood by those who are ready and willing to be taught the necessary Discipline. To prepare subjects of the Nation disciplined, it is necessary to teach them science of Veda. The study of Veda can tame only those who are possessed of mental faculties like obedience, hearing, grasping, retentive memory, discrimination, inference, and deliberation, and cannot tame others who are devoid of these qualities. To imbibe these qualities, one must stay in company of aged experienced in Science, epitome of these qualities. In view of maintaining efficient laws, one must ever and invariably keep company with aged professors of sciences, in whom alone laws(Dharma) has firm root.”

– Arthashashtra, Book 1, Chapter 5

So as per Chanakya, चरित्र निर्माण is important first step to establish pro-people laws and orders.

Here is the formula:

Emergence (चरित्र निर्माण) of seer-scientists among us -> Children living in company of them -> Future citizens full of obedience, hearing, grasping, retentive memory, discrimination, inference, and deliberation qualities -> Citizens with विनय & विवेक for laws -> People-friendly government

Do you agree with Chanakya or your intellectual arrogance and ignorance deny it?
