This book is an utter romp through the Middle Ages with daring rulers, mad adventurers, wild battles and unexpected international alliances. What makes medieval India so fascinating? The troublemakers, empire-builders and adventurers-Cholas on the seas, slave-turned-sultans in Delhi, migrating Ahoms, cultured kings of Vijayanagara, Portuguese who stumbled into something far bigger than pepper . . . and so many others.
History Unpacked: The Why, When and What of Medieval India dives into a thousand years of wars, poets, plunder and surprising partnerships. Through timelines, hilarious comics, clever quizzes and one cheeky poem, discover how history was written, whose stories were forgotten and why the past still argues with us today.
Rohit Bhasi is a Bengaluru-based visual artist who prefers creating art the old-fashioned way, with pen, paper and memories. His body of work, inspired by the folk tales, mythologies and belief systems of local communities, is a humble endeavour to celebrate cultures and their evolving relationships with the world around them.
Looking at the ancient through a contemporary lens is how Rohit would like to describe his work in a nutshell. The human body in all its beauty and imperfections, and the human mind with all its potential for creation and destruction, are his greatest muses. He creates under the label INDIGORANGES.
