    Quick Correction: Bukka and Harihara were prisoners of Muhammed Bin Tughlaq, not Khilji, who was dead by the time they arrived in Delhi as prisoners. Also, I know, it's a bit cheeky referring to KDR as "India's Greatest King" -- but hey, it's a good conversation starter! (Personally, I think Amoghavarsha and Chandragupta give him a run for his money). Enjoy the video!

      Ok. Sir I suggest you that you make more videos on Hinduism, spread of Hinduism in Central Asia similarly like in South East Asia, and I would also suggest you that you make videos on India's each state and their unique cultural beliefs and diverse languages. You're videos are very detailed but underrated.

I’m glad you’re telling us about more than the Indus Valley /Dravidian Civilization; its fall to the Aryan invaders; the Moguls (Mongols) who invaded in the Middle Ages spread Islam and founded Sikhism; and the eventual conquest by the British. I really find history of Southern India fascinating especially the Cholas.
    India is really a (sub) continent because it was composed of many nations and kingdoms not all one nation a culture like its portrayed by Western media just like Africa is portrayed as one big country instead of as the 2nd largest continent with the most diverse population and cultures in the world.

    KDR had made many mistakes which later became the cause of the empire to befall.
    1. Bad design of forts for not inculcating the heavy artillery
    2. Killing his own PM and father figure and his family, accepting his mistake later of doing so, all his lords saw this as greatly disheartening while Rama Raya sides seemed more and more appealing
    3 . Act of kindness for letting the civilians leave in richur and later plundering the whole sultanate, his impulsiveness was seen as unjust and at the same time threatening for all the other sultanates of vijaynagar.
    4. And later not reassuring them nor weakening rather he allowed them to strengthen themselves and when later Ram Raya also started playing one Sultan against other it backfired horribly and subsequent invasion marked the end of vijaynagar

    The main reason for karnataka empire demise is krishna devaraya.. the most powerful and prosperous king was devaraya(also ruled the vast empire than KDR's) of sangama dynasty due to his advancement of technology in military.. KDR came in and took the military technology down hill(his use of pickaxe in the seige of raichur).. the results was, the defeat in talikota(as KDR's successors followed his model of using primitive technology in warfare against deccan sultanate's much more modern weapons). other blunder was to replace kannada with telugu as official language.

  • @stingyblue8189
    @stingyblue8189 10 місяців тому +5

    I think there was something to KDR’s low caste status influencing his approach to being king/emperor. Because he was an outsider and had to always be a maverick he often engaged in bold, often foolhardy and reckless behavior like sneaking out and to see a prostitute and marrying her; making rash and impulsive decisions. Eventually, he cost his successors his kingdom because he killed the one man who was always in his corner and he alienated the Sultans to the North who eventually turned on him.

      Vijayanagar empire never ruled any part of Sri Lanka. Tamil Kingdom of Jaffna who ruled roughly Northern province of Sri Lanka was a vassal state of Vijayanagar empire from about 1374 CE to 1450 CE. Sinhalese king Parakramabahu VI of Kingdom of Kotte invaded Kingdom of Jaffna in 1450 CE. Kingdom of Kotte's conquest of Jaffna marked end of Vijayanagar's vassalization of Jaffna. Kingdom of Jaffna revived in 1467 CE because Kingdom of Kotte weakened due to war of succession. But Vijayanagar empire never recovered it's influence on Kingdom of Jaffna again. Parakramabahu VI's inscriptions in Jaffna and Munnesvaram proof his successful campaign against Kingdom of Jaffna which backed by Vijayanagar empire. Sinhalese king Parakramabahu VI also attacked some South Indian ports of Vijayanagar empire with help of Ming dynasty. Since I can't provide evidence about Parakramabahu VI's attack of ports of Vijayanagar empire this moment, I would leave it.
      But Myanmar and Thailand paying tributaries to Vijayanagar empire doesn't feel real. Myanmar and Thailand had powerful empires. They won't pay tributaries to a South Indian empire.
