By Robert Sewell

A Forgotten Empire: Vijayanagar; A Contribution to the History of India" by Robert Sewell explores the grandeur and decline of the Vijayanagar Empire, a dominant Hindu kingdom in southern India from the 14th to the 16th century. Through translations of Portuguese chronicles and meticulous historical research, Sewell uncovers the empire's cultural richness, architectural marvels, and political significance. This work illuminates Vijayanagar's role as a bulwark against Islamic invasions, its contributions to art and governance, and the dramatic events leading to its ultimate downfall. It serves as an essential resource for understanding India's medieval history and cultural heritage.
