Anirudh Kanisetti is a scholar and the host of two history podcasts, Echoes of India and Yuddha, all about the military history of the Indian subcontinent. He's super thoughtful and insightful - but even more, he's absolutely passionate about the subject.  Did you know that India is the size of Europe, but even more diverse and many times more populous - comprising about one-sixth of humanity?  How much do you know about India and the subcontinent? How much do you know about its history? In this chat, Anirudh and I talk suppressed histories; the political dangers of uncovering history; the Germany of India; the best movie you've probably never even heard about; our world in a younger state; the not-so-new concept of globalization; and so much more.

We begin with the Battle of Raichur in 1520, in which Vijayanagara's Krishna Deva Raya inflicted a humiliating defeat on the Bijapur sultanate.Over the half-century after Raichur, Bijapur and the other sultanates would learn bitter lessons, creating an unparalleled military revolution that blended the best of European and Indian innovations. On 23 January 1565, they would meet the armies of Vijayanagara in the climactic Battle of Talikota, one of the most epochal encounters in Indian history.YUDDHA is made possible thanks to the support of the Takshashila Institution and the Independent and Public-Spirited Media Foundation.Sources and citations for YUDDHA episodes are available at https://www.anirudhkanisetti.com/You can follow Anirudh Kanisetti on his twitter handle @AKanisetti and on his Instagram handle @aniryuddha.You can follow Aditya Ramanathan on his twitter handle @adityascripts and on his Instagram handle @adityaramanathan.You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.You can check out our website at http://www.ivmpodcasts.com/
