According to Chanakya, communication flows from

AThe masses

BThe centre of power ✓ Correct

CThe elitists

DThe military

Correct answer: (B) The centre of power

Explanation

According to Chanakya, communication flows from the centre of power.

In his statecraft, the ruler and the seat of authority originate and direct the messages that reach the realm.

Information and command move outward and downward from this central source to officials and subjects.

The masses in his scheme are receivers of such communication rather than its originating point.

The elitists may transmit or advise, yet they are not the fountainhead from which the flow begins.

The military executes decisions and is an instrument of the state, not the source from which communication issues.
