Rebels sultans - The Deccan from Khilji to Shivaji  (English, Hardcover, Pillai Manu S.)

About the Book

Rebel Sultans by Manu S. Pillai takes us back in time to the Vijayanagar Empire and the court of Bahmani kings - a time that was defined by drama, betrayal, and murder. The medieval Deccan is not easy to generalise. Its myriad shades were influenced by the kings, sultans, and the rulers who had the “skin colour of coal”. So, are you ready to spend your weekend by taking a break from the modern chaos and traversing through the history of Deccan from the end of the 13th century to the dawn of the 18th century? If yes, then this work by Manu S. Pillai will leave you glued to your seat with the company of characters, such as Malik Ambar, Chand Bibi, and Krishnadeva Raya.
