Abstract: In the ancient Hindu Political life, espionage was perhaps the most intimate element of the mind. Monopoly (monopoly rule) becomes an essential task for the natives every day. Other Hindu literatures, eminent politician Kautilya, have emphasized the need for the intelligence structure to be strengthened nationwide and across the country for the smooth functioning of the state administration and the expansion of the kingdom. The “Co-operation” of the state is as important as the spying of another spy, the unspoken knowledge of what is happening to others, the bearing of an alien spy, the secrecy, the unquestioning spying of spies, the fact that the spy is known as the Innocent and the sentence is sent, but the spy sent for spying is known by another spy. This Article sets out to express the ideas of this important political field of “espionage” through the Thirukkural. This dissertation is presented using the methodology of descriptive research methodology and content analysis methodology in some cases comparative methodology with the aim of uncovering ideas about espionage embodied in ancient Hindu political works. The hypothesis of this study is that thirukkural has absorbed the messages of espionage told in the ancient Hindu preceptor Artha Shastra etc. The Intelligence network is an important component of government stability. Thoughts on this have been taken up in Thirukkural as research on whether the ancient Hindu political cell is the subject of this study.
