Throughout history, Humans have crossed forests and the sea using their navigation skills. Europeans leveraged maps for conquering foreign lands and improving their administration. As we rely so much on technology for our movements in the present, how did people of the past navigate unfamiliar lands? What kind of maps did they create? What relevance do maps hold today?

आज की पुलियाबाज़ी चोल साम्राज्य के बारे में। यह एकमात्र भारतीय साम्राज्य था जिसने उपमहाद्वीप के बाहर जाकर दक्षिणपूर्व एशिया तक जीत हाँसिल की थी। कोई पूछ सकता है कि 1000 साल पहले के साम्राज्य की कहानी से आज का क्या लेना देना। वैसे इस सवाल का जवाब तो हमारे मेहमान अनिरुद्ध कनिसेट्टी ही चर्चा के दौरान बहुत अच्छे से देते हैं। लम्बे जवाब के लिए तो चर्चा सुननी पड़ेगी। संक्षिप्त में बताएं तो राजनीति और राजनेताओं को बनाने या मिटाने वाली पावर डायनामिक्स चिरकालीन होती है। इतिहास के पन्नों में छुपे चोला साम्राज्य की कहानी से कुछ पाठ आज भी प्रासंगिक लगते हैं।हमारे आज के मेहमान अनिरुद्ध कनिसेट्टी एक बेहतरीन वक्ता हैं और इतिहास को लेकर काफ़ी उत्साही भी हैं। वे आपके दिल और दिमाग में इतिहास के प्रति नया जोश जगा देंगे ये तो पक्का है। तो इस पुलियाबाज़ी को सुनिए और सुनाइए।We discuss:* Expedition to Southeast Asia* How did merchants collude with the Cholas?* How do we know about the Cholas?* The rise of Cholas* The Chola economy* Cholamandalam* Was there a common cultural identity?* Why is Kaveri called Dakshin Ganga?* How did the Tamil merchants navigate?* Why were the Indian kingdoms limited within the subcontinent?* Myths about the CholasAlso, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.

"Because of the wealth of inscriptions that they have left behind, it is really possible to understand the Cholas as political figures. Not only are they masters of media strategy, they are brilliantly charismatic. They are innovators capable of mobilising vaster armies than ever before . They are capable of thinking out of the box about bureaucracy, administration, diplomacy, and logistics in ways that had not been seen in medieval India. But the reason the Cholas were able to strike with such speed at such distance [as they did in their campaign to Bengal and in South East Asia] is because of the partnership they had with Tamil merchant corporations. The merchants of medieval Tamil Nadu were some of the most remarkable commercial minds of South Asia. There is mention of these merchants in Thailand around the 9th century. When the Chola state was emerging, these merchants were already trading at the other side of the Indian ocean." - Anirudh Kanisetti, author, 'Lords of Earth and Sea' talks to Manjula Narayan about the vast Chola empire based in coastal south India that was the dominant power in the subcontinent in the early medieval period, about it's great monarchs like Rajaraja Chola, the dowager queen Sembian Mahadevi and the part she played in fashioning the dynasty as the foremost devotees of Shiva, the most popular of Tamil gods, and the many little people who played a part in the Chola story.

The Chola dynasty of centuries-old saw the rise of popular and determined kings that consolidated lands in southern and eastern India, the Indian Ocean, and even as far as south-east Asia. Their influence was unparalleled at the time, with King Rajaraja Chola I setting up a political, social, cultural, and economic landscape that took the empire through almost a dozen centuries.  But before Rajaraja Chola, there was an internal war for power and control -- and two of its central characters may have been -- Nandini, a mysterious woman that made it to the top of the Chola food chain, and Kundavai, who was the sister of Rajaraja Chola. History, legend, myth, and fiction make the stories around Nandini and Kundavai a bit blurry -- who were they and how did they rise to power? Did they even hold real power, during a time when being born male was paramount to all else? And more importantly… did they even exist?  We bring on board guest Anirudh Kanisetti to help us navigate through the murky waters of Chola history. Anirudh is an Indian historian, author of 'Lords of the Deccan: Southern India from the Chalukyas to the Cholas', and host of 'Echoes of India: A History Podcast', right here on IVM Podcasts network.  About Anirudh: Anirudh Kanisetti is the award-winning author of Lords of the Deccan, a new history of medieval South India.

The Heirs of Vijayanagara: Court Politics in Early Modern South India by Lennart Bes is a comparative study investigating court politics in four kingdoms that succeeded the south Indian Vijayanagara empire during the 16th to 18th centuries: Ikkeri, Tanjavur, Madurai, and Ramnad. Building on a combination of unexplored Indian texts and Dutch archival records, this research offers a new analysis of political culture, power relations, and dynastic developments. The monograph provides detailed facts and insights that contest existing scholarship. By highlighting their competitive, fluid, and dynamic nature, it undermines the historiography viewing these courts as harmonic, hierarchic, and static. Far from being remote, ritualised figures, we find kings and Brahmins contesting with other courtiers for power. At the same time, by stressing continuities with the past, this study questions recent scholarship that perceives a fundamentally new form of Nayaka kingship. Thus, this research has important repercussions for the way we perceive both these kingdoms and their ‘medieval' precursors. In this episode of BIC Talks author Anirudh Kanisetti speaks to Indologist and author Lennart Bes. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favourite podcast app!

On the very first episode of Scroll Ideas, Shoaib Daniyal talks to author and historian Anirudh Kanisetti. Kanisetti's new book Lords of the Deccan is a fascinating look at the history of early medieval South India. He charts the rise of the Chalukyas, the South's first empire and ends with the incredible powerhouse that the Cholas from Tamilakam were. In this discussion, Shoaib and Anirudh discuss why elephants were weapons of mass destruction in medieval Deccani warfare, what happened to the Jains of South India and why India's incredible diversity in history is ignored for a one-size-fits all, Delhi-centric approach.

Histories of India usually concern themselves with events and invasions in the subcontinent's North, while the rest of India's rich story is often reduced down to little more than dry footnotes. Now historian and Indian history podcast presenter Anirudh Kanisetti has brought to light the early medieval period in the Deccan Plateau - between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal - when the region was transformed by the Chalukya dynasty, shaping life in southern India for centuries.In this edition of Gone Medieval, Dr. Cat Jarman is at the Jaipur Literature Festival where she meets Anirudh Kanisetti to find out why his work means the history of the subcontinent will never be seen in the same way again.For more Gone Medieval content, subscribe to our Medieval Monday newsletter here.If you'd like to learn even more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!To download, go to Android or Apple store.

Anirudh also talks about the historical significance of the palace, a brief history of the rulers over time as well as the natural history of the DeccanWe narrow down on the Ellora cave temples, a set of over a hundred cave temples that date back to the 7th century built by Buddhists, Hindus and Jain patrons. 34 of those temples are now open to the public and offer a view into the architectural and engineering brilliance of that time. We discuss about the dominant Rashtrakuta empire who ruled the sub-continent during this time, were believed to be vassals/feudatories of the Chalukyan dynasty and had humble beginnings. Anirudh speaks about the magnificent Cave 16 or Kailashnath temple, believed to be inspired by the Kailash mountain, the abode of Lord Shiva. We speak about the backstory of how the temple is believed to have been constructed from a monolith and is the largest such structure during its time. The temple was constructed by excavating 2 million cubic feet of basalt rock, probably formed during the cretaceous era which led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Anirudh gives wonderful descriptions of the architecture of the temple, some prominent sculptures as well as the sheer engineering and architectural brilliance of the builders. We cap off the episode by discussing other important temples of the complex, including Buddist and Jain caves/temples.

This episode is a live session from Jaipur Literature Festival 2022 - Lords of the Deccan: Anirudh Kanisetti and Manu S. Pillai in conversation.

When we talk about Indian history, the Deccan and South India's narratives are largely missing from popular narratives, given that most of it is looked at from a prism of Delhi. Breaking away from that is author Anirudh Kanisetti's latest book, Lords of the Deccan, which gives a comprehensive idea of what went on in the Deccan between the 6th and 11th centuries. Host Yunus Lasania speaks with Anirudh for this episode of Beyond Charminar, to understand how the Deccan functioned and developed as a separate entity throughout centuries. See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

Anirudh Kanisetti is the author of Lords of the Deccan. Holding a first-class honours degree from BITS Pilani and having previously worked at the Takshashila Institution, he is currently an Editor at the Museum of Arts and Photography. He has received grants from the Princeton Center for Digital Humanities and the India Foundation for the Arts, and his writings and work have been featured in The Hindu, The New Indian Express, LiveMint and ThePrint, among others. He hosts two critically acclaimed podcasts – Echoes of India and Yuddha. Book description: The history of the vast Indian subcontinent is usually told as a series of ephemeral moments when a large part of modern-day India was ruled by a single sovereign. There is an obsession with foreign invasions and the polities of the Gangetic plains, while the histories of the rest of the subcontinent have been reduced to little more than dry footnotes. Now, in his brilliant and critically acclaimed debut book, Anirudh Kanisetti shines a light into the darkness, bringing alive for the lay-reader the early medieval Deccan, from the sixth century CE to the twelfth century CE, in all its splendour and riotous glory. It is a world of bloody elephant warfare and brutal military stratagems; of alliances and betrayals; where a broken king commits ritual suicide, and a shrewd hunchbacked prince founds his own kingdom under his powerful brother's nose. This is a world where a king writes a bawdy play that is a parable for religious contestation; where the might of India's rulers and the wealth of its cities were talked of from Arabia to Southeast Asia; and where south Indian kingdoms serially invaded and defeated those of the north. This painstakingly researched forgotten history of India will keep you riveted and enthralled. You will never see the history of the subcontinent the same way again.

"People who are powerful and wealthy are always complex and layered characters," says Anirudh Kanisetti, author, Lords of the Deccan, in this week's Books & Authors conversation with Manjula Narayan, about the ambitious, adventurous, charismatic and bloodthirsty medieval dynasties of southern India from the Chalukyas to the Cholas.

The Deccan Plateau is generally believed to have been "conquered" by the Mauryan empire of the Gangetic Plains - but the reality of its early history is far more complex and thought-provoking. Anirudh Kanisetti speaks to Prof. Namita Sugandhi about her excavations at the site of Tekkalakota, Karnataka, to learn about how archaeology challenges not only our understanding of the Deccan in the Iron Age but our ideas about urbanisation and civilisation itself.Follow Anirudh on Twitter : https://twitter.com/akanisettiYou can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcast App on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/iosYou can check out our website at https://www.ivmpodcasts.com

Remains dating back to nearly 4000 years ago, at the site of Sinauli in Uttar Pradesh, have revealed that the history of the Indian subcontinent in the Bronze Age is far more complex than imagined. From chariots to swords to coffins, these remains tell us that the people of Sinauli were a warlike, sophisticated culture - but who really were they, and how did they relate to the far better-known Harappans?

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.

At its peak, the Harappan culture was the powerhouse of the Bronze Age world. It stretched from the lush meadows of Punjab to the salt flats of Kutch and the deserts of Sindh, its sway extending over nearly 40% of the human population of the time.

In the past, India has played a significant role in mediating peace in conflicts involving major powers. However, this zeal has waned over the last few decades. In this episode, Raja Karthikeya, who has worked on several peace issues in West Asia, argues that India must revive the peace mediation agenda for its own national interest. He dispels commonly held notions that have constrained India’s imagination and action as an international peace mediator. This episode builds on Raja’s chapter in the book India's Marathon: Reshaping the Post-Pandemic World Order. आम तौर पर ये धारणा है कि भारत को दूसरे देशों के झगड़ों से दो गज़ की दूरी बनाई रखनी चाहिए, पहले खुद के झगड़े निपटाए और फिर ही दूसरे देशों के मामलों में सोचें। लेकिन इस एपिसोड में राजा कार्तिकेय कहते है कि सोचने का ये नज़रिया ग़लत है। शांति मध्यस्थता में सक्रिय होने से भारत को सीधा सीधा लाभ भी है और भारत इस ज़िम्मेदारी को उठाने में सक्षम भी है। राजा कई पश्चिम एशिया में शांति मध्यस्थता प्रक्रियाओं का हिस्सा रह चुके हैं। For more:Read Raja’s chapter in India's Marathon: Reshaping the Post-Pandemic World Order, editors Pranay Kotasthane, Anirudh Kanisetti, and Nitin Pai.70 years of the Korean War: India’s lesser-known role in halting it, Neha Banka for Indian ExpressRaja’s previous appearance on Puliyabaazi #24For an Indian Touch in Timor-Leste, Nitin PaiPuliyabaazi is on these platforms:Twitter: https://twitter.com/puliyabaaziFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/puliyabaaziInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/puliyabaazi/Subscribe & listen to the podcast on iTunes, Google Podcasts, Castbox, AudioBoom, YouTube, Spotify or any other podcast app.
