Event 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. Author, Anirudh Kanisetti in conversation with Aditya Ramanathan 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.
There will be a dramatised reading of excerpts from the book by actors Anil Abraham and Dayasindhu Sakrepatna.
In collaboration with The Takshashila Institution
