Arthashastra

संघवृत्त

The Conduct of Corporations

The text outlines a conqueror’s systematic methods for subjugating corporate groups by exploiting their internal cohesion and social hierarchies. Recognizing that unity renders corporations invincible, the ruler employs spies in various disguises to fabricate disputes over status, marriage, property, and romantic rivalries. The administration deliberately supports the inferior party in these manufactured conflicts, provides funds and troops to destabilized factions, and ultimately relocates or disbands them, ensuring the king remains the sole sovereign. Corporate leaders are instructed to maintain virtue and discipline to preserve stability under royal protection.
