On this episode, Cyrus is joined by Anirudh Kanisetti, Researcher, Writer, Podcaster & Host of Echoes of India and Yuddha on the IVM Podcasts network. They talk about Anirudh first doing engineering, getting interested in history through historical video games like Age of Empires and the Total War series, his two podcasts 'Echoes of India' and 'Yuddha', our north-centric obsession of Indian history, why so much of our history is never talked about, and lots more. They also talk about Ashoka the Great, whether he was really infact a humanist or just a politician/dictator, Babur who is supposed to have introduced gun powder to India, the Aryan invasion theory of India, Anirudh's YouTube documentary channel 'Connected Histories', and more.
