Krishnadevaraya: the Epic Story of Medieval India’s Greatest King

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.

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!

[@prasanth2601]

It's a bit hard for foreigners to perfectly pronounce his name. So it's okay to refer him as KDR

Ok.

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. Eventually, other dynasties and kingdoms rose to prominence in different regions of India, marking the end of the Tripartite Struggle period.

KDR had made many mistakes which later became the cause of the empire to befall. 1. Bad design of forts for not inculcating the heavy artillery 2. 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

Great content but I think Pratapa rudra deva should be reffered as Pratapa rudra gajapathy because there is another kakatiya Emperor Pratapa rudra deva, grand son of Rudramadevi... many will confuse

Video request for pahari history (pahari means 'of the mountain'). The history of himalayan region of india is lesser known despite being a significant region in north india. Would love to see a video taking of it.

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.

One of the most underrated Kings of India, outside of Karnataka he is not celebrated enough but in terms of contribution Vijayanagaram empire as important as Marathas for medieval India and Kirshnadevaraya is as important as Chatrapathi Sivaji Maharaj.

[@porothashawarma2339]

@@kiran9220Both are great kings in their own times . Vijayanagara is what gave stability to the Maratha chieftains and they were inspired to make their own empire . Don’t compare two great kings , without Shivaji , today India would have been different.

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.

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

[@nknkannadiga9742]

What do u expect from telugu people. They don't have any major empire in their history.

For everyone who’s a longtime fan of Odd Compass, let’s try and give this video some more love- share it around, tell your friends about it. It’s got a criminally-low amount of views for how well-done it is. If we want others to be educated about South Indian history, we have to be proactive!
