In our Season 1 finale, we look at the saga of how an unlikely coalition of warring sultanates came to destroy the might of Vijayanagara. We begin with the Battle of Raichur in 1520, in which Vijayanagara's Krishna Deva Raya inflicted a humiliating defeat on the Bijapur sultanate.

Over the half-century after Raichur, Bijapur and the other sultanates would learn bitter lessons, creating an unparalleled military revolution that blended the best of European and Indian innovations. On 23 January 1565, they would meet the armies of Vijayanagara in the climactic Battle of Talikota, one of the most epochal encounters in Indian history.

In the 15th century, the Indian Ocean was visited by two fleets that would change the history of the world.

The first was the gigantic armada of the Chinese admiral Cheng He, carrying thousands of sailors and tons of luxuries representing centuries of development of maritime commerce in this interconnected region.

The second was the tiny squadron of bedraggled ships that came from a distant, insignificant European country: Portugal. The Portuguese and their leaders - da Gama, Cabral, Almeida, Albequerque - would transform this ocean, and eventually be engulfed in it.

This is the second episode in a three-part series exploring the interlinked destinies of Vijayanagara, the Portuguese, and the Deccan Sultanates.

The great 300-year eruption of the Turkic and Mongol peoples has come to an end, and the sun rises upon a world transformed. The peoples of Eurasia are now welded into an enormous network of competing, innovative, and "globalised" states and societies ranging from England in the West to Japan in the East. And as the Sultanate of Delhi unravels and collapses after its Deccan misadventures, two empires rise south of the Narmada river: the Bahmani Sultanate, the first Sultanate ever seen in the Deccan, and the famous empire of Vijayanagara, City of Victory, one of the most remarkable of all Indian states. Their clashes and military innovations will change the course of history.

This is the first episode in a three-part series exploring the interlinked destinies of Vijayanagara, the Portuguese, and the Deccan Sultanates.
