Kautilya’s Arthashastra, an ancient Indian text on statecraft, economic policy and military strategy, is considered an important text in the study of political science in the country. However, what possible answer could someone have if asked about nature of "GST" in Arthashastra? Confused? Well it doesn’t end here.

Manusmriti, another ancient text on the social structure of the country, would not have have a link to globalisation, right?

Well, we could argue about this all we want, but these absurd connections found a place in the MA (Political Science) exam paper at the Banaras Hindu University's semester examination.
