Analysing Plato's Philosopher-King model in the backdrop of Indian Raj-Rishi model, the author examines its conceptualisation by Plato and underscores ambiguities therein. He discusses four essential precautions necessary for his Philosopher-King to avoid abusing power. He then briefly compares Plato's model with the Indian Raj-Rishi model to facilitate our comprehension about the strengths and weak points of the two. - Reproduced
