What's in a name.....

In the November, 1937 issue of the Calcutta-based journal Modern Review, an article entitled 'The Rashtrapati' severely criticized Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. The anonymous author acknowledged Nehru's initiative and innate drive but also pointed out glaring streaks of autocracy, saying that Nehru’s character was marked by "intolerance of others and a certain contempt for the weak and inefficient". The author, who signed himself "Chanakya", added that Nehru's conceit was "already formidable", and worried that soon "Jawaharlal might fancy himself as a Caesar".
Sooner it was revealed who CHANAKYA was, and he was
rewarded with congress presidency.
WHO WROTE UNDER THE PENNAME CHANAKYA ?
