Firenze, Isn’t **Arthaśāstra **by Chanakya is the oldest political treatise.

certainly in Indian mytholody .. Chanakya is also called Indian Machiavelli !

in the words of… German Weber:

Truly radical ‘Machiavellianism’, in the popular sense of that word, is classically expressed in Indian literature in the Arthasastra of Kautilya (written long before the birth of Christ, ostensibly in the time of Chandragupta): compared to it, Machiavelli’s The Prince is harmless.
