Option 4 : Empire building only

Kautilya, often referred to as Chanakya or Vishnugupta, was a renowned great scholar who was instrumental in the 4th century B.C. 

  • According to Kautilya, the function of the State are mentioned below: 
    • To promote the moral and material happiness and welfare of his people
    • To enable them to pursue freely their independent efforts in life
    • To maintain unity and solidarity
    • To promote agriculture, industry and arts
    • To reward virtue
    • To regulate the means of livelihood, especially of the labourers and artisans
    • To encourage education and help students.

Thus, the Empire building only is not the function of the State, according to Kautilya
