War in Medieval India: The Brutal Reality

Medieval Indian warfare isn't like what you see in the movies or epics. Forget the swashbuckling heroes, the proud kings and lords, and the lofty principles upheld on the battlefield. The reality is far more brutal, a world where army commanders will do anything, and stop at nothing to secure a victory.

Learn about medieval Indian strategies of war, the political effects of it, how people dressed, ate, and lived, and how the lives of ordinary men and women were changed forever by the wars fought between kings.

Amazing information about medieval India. I had a very different picture of the wars back then. It was mainly what we saw in the movies. This video certainly is an eye opener. Thank you for sharing authentic history.

Wonderful video and, especially, beautiful artwork. The images looked so detailed and attractive, and they reminded me of Amar Chitra Katha comics' art style. Thanks for that nugget of nostalgia. I loved the valuable bits of information given by Anirudh Kanisetty. I had hoped to hear more from him during the video. Maybe do a full-length interview with him in the future. Great work as always! Maybe do a video about the history of caste in India. Nothing controversial, just informative and interesting. I think you're cultivating a very good audience here who can handle such heavy topics without getting riled up.
