If you're visiting Delhi, you can see the remnants of the Delhi fortress near kashmiri gate, all the way to old delhi and chandni chowk. The area is very crowded but the food is incredible. Highly recommend checking out Karim's restaurant, which is in front of Jama mosque for some authentic Mughal cuisine. In southern Delhi, you can see the Qutub minar (tower), which stands from the times of the Delhi sultanate. Another popular spot is Hauz khas, which has remnants of a complex which dates to the Khiljis. Even older complexes can be found in Indraprastha.

Grear to see you covering more Indian History! Id love to see you do an episode on the Chalukyas and Cholas, as I've been reading the book 'Lords of the Deccan' by Anuridh Kanisetti. Its a great read for anyone interested in Narrative History and the period at large. Also if you're in Delhi (and not a vegetarian/vegan) I highly suggest Haji Mohammad Hussein's fried chicken at Jama Masjid.

[@chronikhiles]

You got good taste! Manu Pillai's books are also pretty good.

Lmao Aniruddh Kanisetti is more like a hogwashed pseudo historian who is more like an internet theorist than an actual professional.

[@dwarasamudra8889]

Anirudd Kanisetti is not a very neutral historian. He has a narrative that he wants to display and has huge biases and cherry picks centre pieces of history whilst leaving other bits out all to simply fulfil his narrative.

One of my biggest problems with contemporary historians, even independent ones on KZbin, is that they act like no culture outside of Western Europe existed unless Europe wanted something from it. My favorite thing about Epimetheus is that when he covers world history, he covers WORLD history. India especially is overlooked and he's the only quality source I can find on it and for that I respect him massively.

Aibak was a rough guy, he destroyed a lot of Hindu history architecture and scriptures in India. He made a point of killing Brahmins to wipe out the Hindu religion as he believed that by destroying their scholars and those who had the access to education he could eradicate. He destroyed countless historical sites destroying Mandirs and washing the statues of Hindu gods in the blood of slaughtered cows. Just an insight into the man Aibak.

Razi was an awful ruler. Sure, she's a strong women and managed to fight her way to the top in a world dominated by misogynistic men at the time, but her rule was awful with her religious persecution. She destroyed the Kashi Vishveshwar Temple in Varanasi and built the Razia Mosque on top of it. This temple was as important for Hindus as Mecca Masjid is for Muslims or Vatican or St Paul's is for Christians

[@abc_cba]

@@dwarasamudra8889 number one, wow I didn't know about the Kashi Temple being pillaged by Razia, will look into that. Thanks. Lastly, Vatican is not important for Christians. It's only for Roman Catholics. Orthodox Christians (who make 20% of Christians) and Protestants (who make 40% of Christians) have nothing to do with Vatican. But yeah, if you want to relate on the importance on a Holy Place for Christians, then it has to be "the Church of Holy Sepulchure" or even "the Church of Nativity" which are significant for almost all Christians in the world irrespective of their denominations. The Crusades started only when the Fatimid Caliph Billah burned the Church of Holy Sepulchure that led to the Christian-Muslim fights in The Holy Land. I am very distraught with hearing that even Kashi Temple was pillaged. I never knew about that. Is there any fund or organisation that I can donate to rebuild it? I'll do my contribution. Thanks.
