Book Description

About the Book The book explores the historical landscape of South India, focusing on pivotal events such as the Chola Empire's decline and Muslim invasions. It delves into the Khalji and Tughlak invasions, examining their impact on the region. Geographical insights complement the narrative. The appendices provide valuable inscriptions and records, including those related to prominent figures like Maravarman Sundara Pandya I and Alvar Tirunagari. Additionally, Ibn Batuta's observations in South India are highlighted. The introductory chapter contextualizes the Vijayanagar Empire's emergence, highlighting the region's state preceding Muslim invasions and rationalizing Muhammad's reign's chronology based on historical evidence.

About the Author S. Krishnaswami Aiyangar (1871-1946) was an esteemed Indian historian and academician. He chaired the Department of Indian History and Archaeology at the University of Madras from 1914 to 1929. Aiyangar's works focused on Vijayanagar history and introduced new historical methodologies, with a nationalistic perspective. Rao Bahadur M. Rangacharya (1861-1916) was a renowned scholar and educator. Born in Melkote, he excelled academically, studying both Physical Science and Sanskrit Literature. He contributed significantly to education, serving as Secretary to the Committee of Management at the Hindu High School, Triplicane. Rangacharya's multifaceted career included teaching, research, and contributions to various fields, leaving a lasting impact on Indian education and culture.

Preface In the course of writing the introductory chapter to my forthcoming history of the Empire of Vijayanagar, I was led to an investigation of the actual circumstances under which that Empire came into being, and, as a consequence, the condition of South India on the eve of the Muhammadan invasions. The result of this investigation is set forth in the following six lectures delivered as 'the Third Course of Special Lectures in the Department of Indian History and Archaeology at the University of Madras. The first lecture traces the decadence of the Chola Empire, and shows how it split up into a number of chieftaincies. The disruption is traced to the pressure of the Pandyas from the South, the natural tendency to independence of the feudatories within, and a fratricidal war arising among the members of the Chola ruling family itself. The next traces the revival of the Pandya power which had been reduced to subordination by the Cholas very early in their imperial career. The re-assertion of their independence began with the weakening of the Chola power about the middle of the twelfth century, and culminated in the establishment of the Pandyas as one of only two South Indian Powers in the middle of the thirteenth. The third lecture concerns itself with the first invasions of the Dakhan by Alau-d-din and Malik Kafur. In the fourth it is pointed out that there is satisfactory evidence of Malik Kafur's invasion having reached as far south as Madura and Ramēśvaram, and that the character of the invasions had nothing of conquest or occupation of territory in it. The fifth lecture bears upon the career of Muhammad Tughlak and the character of the invasions of South India sent by him.
