I bought a book on Hind Swaraj and related writings of MK Gandhi complied by a British author. The curious fact is that Hind Swaraj came out in 1908 and in 1909, Syama Sastry came out with his translation of long lost Kautilya's 'Arthshastra' and this is mentioned in the preface.
What I am interested in is how was the Freedom Movement influenced by the Arthshastra?
