A Forgotten Empire by Robert Sewell Pdf

A Forgotten Empire: Vijayanagar is a historical book written by Robert Sewell that focuses on the history of the Vijayanagara Empire in South India. The book covers the period from the foundation of the empire in 1336 to its decline and ultimate defeat by the Deccan sultanates in 1565. The book describes the rise of the Vijayanagara Empire under the leadership of Harihara and Bukka, who founded the empire after the fall of the Hoysala Empire. The empire reached its peak under the rule of Krishnadevaraya, who expanded the empire's territory and patronized arts and literature. Sewell also explores the political and social structure of the empire, including its administration, military, and religious institutions. He examines the role of Hinduism in the empire and its interactions with other religions, including Islam. The book also highlights the empire's cultural achievements, including its architecture, literature, music, and dance. Sewell discusses the significance of Hampi, the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, which was once a thriving center of trade and culture. Overall, A Forgotten Empire: Vijayanagar provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the Vijayanagara Empire and its contributions to Indian history and culture.

A Forgotten Empire by Robert Sewell Pdf

A Forgotten Empire: Vijayanagar: Large Print By Robert Sewell we have fortunately more direct evidence, for the discovery of which we have to thank Mr. Ferguson. I have mentioned above that at the end of the MS. volume are copies of two letters concerning China. These were written subsequent to the year 1520 by Vasco Calvo and Christovao Vieyra. Mr. Ferguson has pointed out to me that, in the third DECADA (liv. IV, caps. 4, 5), after quoting some passages almost verbatim from this chronicle of Nuniz regarding Vijayanagar, Barros writes: "According to two letters which our people had two or three years afterwards from these two men, Vasco Calvo, brother of Diogo Calvo, and Christovao Vieyra, who were prisoners in Canton, etc...." He also mentions these letters in two subsequent passages, and quotes from them.

Vijayanagara by S R Ramanujan Pdf

The Vijayanagar Empire, which was headquartered in present-day Hampi, Karnataka, is acclaimed in pre-modern history as the most powerful kingdom to arrest the onslaught of Moghul invaders in the South for nearly two centuries. Its rulers were known for their valour in taking on the Sultans from the North. Further, the rulers of Vijayanagara were great patrons of Hindu culture and civilization and were known for their military and administrative acumen. They patronized fine arts, music, dance and temple architecture. Despite their glory, there are conflicting records of the empire’s history, right from the inception of the empire to its collapse. There are some apologists who even contest the fact that Sage Vidyaranya founded the empire to defend Hinduism and its values. Others, foreign tourists who visited the empire, were not wholly appreciative of the rulers and exaggerated their weaknesses if any. Influenced by their religious allegiances, these visitors were often biased and tended to base their narratives on hearsay. Modern historians too have descredited the empire so as to nullify the role of religious bigotry. They came up with theories that do not truly represent the true spirit and culture of this great empire. Which narrative is the most accurate and who has curated the history of the Vijayanagar Empire in the most succinct way? This book only tries to analyse various theories about the Empire and tries to give a perspective on such controversies.

Hampi Vijayanagara by John M. Fritz,George Michell Pdf

Hampi is one of the most beautiful and evocative of all historical sites in south India. Austere yet grandiose, it was established as the seat of the Vijayanagara empire in the mid-14th century, a time when art and architecture flourished. Contemporary chroniclers from Persia, Italy, Portugal and Russia visited the empire during this period and left glowing accounts of a city that was conquered by Sultanate troops in AD 1565, pillaged for six months, and abandoned. Hampi Vijayanagara examines the temples renowned for their florid ornamentation, intricate carvings, magnificent pavilions, stately pillars and a wealth of iconographic and traditional depictions. The book also includes site plans and three-dimensional reconstructions.
