Krishnadevaraya ranks among India's greatest kings -- by the end of his life he remained undefeated on the battlefield, and had built the Vijayanagara Empire up to the apex of its power and prosperity. Even more fascinating: he was a low-caste king, with perpetual "underdog" status.
Welcome to his amazing, larger-than-life story.

Special thanks to Srinivas Reddy for his excellent new book on Krishnadevaraya: "Raya"

  • Quick Correction: Bukka and Harihara were prisoners of Muhammed Bin Tughlaq, not Khilji, who was dead by the time they arrived in Delhi as prisoners. Also, I know, it's a bit cheeky referring to KDR as "India's Greatest King" -- but hey, it's a good conversation starter! (Personally, I think Amoghavarsha and Chandragupta give him a run for his money). Enjoy the video!

    • Ok. Sir I suggest you that you make more videos on Hinduism, spread of Hinduism in Central Asia similarly like in South East Asia, and I would also suggest you that you make videos on India's each state and their unique cultural beliefs and diverse languages. You're videos are very detailed but underrated.

  • When discussing his dual nature, you did not mention a very contreversial matter, his language. Sri krishnadevaraya was a kannadiga but he loved telugu, he had 8 poets in his court, and one of them was tenali ramakrishna, who is still celebrated as one of the greatest poets in telugu. Even his masterpiece amuktamalyada was infact written in telugu. I hope you add this point if you do a future video.

In the end, none of the three empires emerged as the clear victor. The struggle resulted in significant territorial gains and losses for all three powers, and the political landscape of Northern India continued to shift in the centuries that followed.

Killing his own PM and father figure and his family, accepting his mistake later of doing so, all his lords saw this as greatly disheartening while Rama Raya sides seemed more and more appealing 3 . Act of kindness for letting the civilians leave in richur and later plundering the whole sultanate, his impulsiveness was seen as unjust and at the same time threatening for all the other sultanates of vijaynagar. 4. And later not reassuring them nor weakening rather he allowed them to strengthen themselves and when later Ram Raya also started playing one Sultan against other it backfired horribly and subsequent invasion marked the end of vijaynagar

I've been a fan of your channel since your first video about the Cholas and your story-telling and presentation ability have become so good - this is probably one of my favorite videos on KZhead now. Can't believe the YT algorithm did not show me this video until now. Keep it up, excited to your future videos! Not sure if you are taking suggestions, but would love to learn more about the Tripartite Struggle, especially the Gurjaras and Palas since you already made a video about the Rashtrakutas.

It’s honestly nostalgic for me to think back to that first video and all the excitement I had about stories still to tell. It really means a lot to me that you’re still following the channel and enjoying the content. Lots more (and varied) content to come! Also, I’ve definitely been contemplating a video on the Palas of Bengal, so that could be coming down the pipeline eventually :)

    • Vijayanagar empire never ruled any part of Sri Lanka. Tamil Kingdom of Jaffna who ruled roughly Northern province of Sri Lanka was a vassal state of Vijayanagar empire from about 1374 CE to 1450 CE. Sinhalese king Parakramabahu VI of Kingdom of Kotte invaded Kingdom of Jaffna in 1450 CE. Kingdom of Kotte's conquest of Jaffna marked end of Vijayanagar's vassalization of Jaffna. Kingdom of Jaffna revived in 1467 CE because Kingdom of Kotte weakened due to war of succession. But Vijayanagar empire never recovered it's influence on Kingdom of Jaffna again. Parakramabahu VI's inscriptions in Jaffna and Munnesvaram proof his successful campaign against Kingdom of Jaffna which backed by Vijayanagar empire. Sinhalese king Parakramabahu VI also attacked some South Indian ports of Vijayanagar empire with help of Ming dynasty. Since I can't provide evidence about Parakramabahu VI's attack of ports of Vijayanagar empire this moment, I would leave it. But Myanmar and Thailand paying tributaries to Vijayanagar empire doesn't feel real. Myanmar and Thailand had powerful empires. They won't pay tributaries to a South Indian empire.

  • I think there was something to KDR’s low caste status influencing his approach to being king/emperor. Because he was an outsider and had to always be a maverick he often engaged in bold, often foolhardy and reckless behavior like sneaking out and to see a prostitute and marrying her; making rash and impulsive decisions. Eventually, he cost his successors his kingdom because he killed the one man who was always in his corner and he alienated the Sultans to the North who eventually turned on him.

  • There was no person named Timmarusu, it was Timmarasa not Timmarusu as per Epigraphical records (even found in Andhra) and chronicles, he was known as Timmarasa, Timmayya in inscriptions and Temersea in foreign chronicles which is equivalent to Timmarasa, Timmarusu is no where found in any record thus through Telugu movies and propaganda in many secondary sources it became Timmarusu even if the name like this never existed Also, Hakka Bukka being Kakatiya generals is highly exaggerated and these stories are just narratives and no epigraphical record support this, Hakka Bukka themselves claim as successors of Hoysalas in inscriptions, who replaced the Kingdom soon after its fall with the inscriptions of both dynasties found at the same place during its rise From internal Inscriptions to literature and external sources to Muhammadans, they all call the empire as 'Karnataka" not Vijayanagara which was just the capital
