Vijayanagara and Gajapati Series: The Rise of Sri Krishna Deva Raya: Pt 4

Welcome back to Ithihasa Indic History Podcast!

This is the 1st episode of 2022 and the Episode 52 of the Season Vijayanagara.

Loyal Listeners who have been asking me, your wait is finally over.

Let us pick up where we left in December of 2021.

We had ended the previous episode with the conquest of the Udayagiri fortress by the Vijayanagara Army after a lengthy siege and fighting off the dogged resistance of the gallant forces of the Gajapati Army.

In this episode, we shall continue the military campaign of the Great Raya from where we left off in the last.

The fall of Udayagiri did not satisfy the Vijayanagara Emperor understandably.

Now that he had tasted success against his arch-rival Prataparudra, Krishna DevaRaya wanted to push the dagger even deeper.

An Indian, who happens to be a Techie and a self taught history student. I love exploring geopolitics, world history, rise & fall of civilizations.

Over years, I have enjoyed learning about our past and realized that Humanity as such has a very volatile memory. One of the reasons why we as species keep making the same mistakes over last few thousand years.

The same wars are being fought with new twists and we keep digging at times a hole for ourselves in the same way as our ancestors did.

Why is it so difficult to remember the past? Or is it that we don't pay enough attention to it as it doesn't help pay our bills and serves of no utilitarian purpose?

Whatever the reasons, the past doesn't seem to forget us and keeps haunting many cultures, societies and nations even today.

This aspect fascinates me and this is an humble attempt to just share what I learnt and if needed re-learn it.
