After the Delhi Sultanate's campaigns into the Deccan, a new Hindu empire rose to challenge Muslim dominance. This episode explores the founding of Vijayanagara by the Sangama brothers, Harihara and Bukka, in 1336. We dive into their strategic use of the Tungabhadra River, the role of the sage Vidyaranya in legitimizing their rule, and the empire's unique administrative structure that combined Hindu traditions with effective military organization. The conversation covers the early conflicts with the Bahmani Sultanate, the importance of the fortress city of Vijayanagara, and the empire's patronage of arts and literature, including the development of Telugu literature. We also discuss the controversial debate over the religious identity of the founders—were they Hindu converts or local chieftains? This episode sets the stage for the later glory of Krishnadevaraya and the eventual fall at Talikota.
