"Lords of the Deccan: How the Chalukyas and Rashtrakutas Shaped South India" by Anirudh Kanisetti
on how the Deccan innovated in the fields of culture, art, language,
and trade, and how it influenced the trajectories of many modern Indian
states.
Talk in English at 5.30 pm IST on Saturday, April 2, 2022.
The Deccan is one of the great geopolitical regions of India, but its history in the early medieval period is less well known.
Anirudh Kanisetti uses
critical scholarship and a range of art historical and archaeological
sources to show that the Chalukya and Rashtrakuta dynasties of the
Deccan had a profound impact on shaping the history of the subcontinent.
Anirudh Kanisetti is the author of Lords of the Deccan: Southern India
from the Chalukyas to the Cholas, a history of medieval South India with
a refreshingly new perspective. He works at the Museum of Art and
Photography, Bengaluru, and writes the 'Thinking Medieval' column for
The Print. His work focuses on exploring the history of South India
through new forms of media and has been featured in The Hindu, The New
Indian Express, and Scroll.in among others.
