5.37 Anirudh Kanisetti: Unearthing the Untapped History of South India
b'
Does history give you goosebumps? Specifically, history that explores the minds of kings and uncovers hidden stories of little-known queens?
In this episode, Tara and Michelle venture into the ancient palaces of South India as they converse with Anirudh Kanisetti, author of \\u201cLords of the Deccan: Southern Indian from the Chalukyas to the Cholas\\u201d. They discuss how a majority of Deccan history got left out and why it mattered enough to make him dive into translations of literature and inscriptions from 600-1100 CE, how he made friends through memes, and why making history accessible was important to him.\\xa0
Tune in to hear Anirudh Kanisetti talk about his fascination for Deccan history, and examine the politics of the Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas and Cholas up close!\\xa0
