About the Book

Lords of the Deccan: Southern India from the Chalukyas to the Cholas

By Anirudh Kanisetti


A groundbreaking exploration of medieval South India, its forgotten empires, and its profound influence on the subcontinent.


History is often told through the lens of foreign invasions and the Gangetic plains, leaving much of India’s vast and diverse past obscured. In his critically acclaimed debut, Anirudh Kanisetti turns the spotlight on the early medieval Deccan (6th to 12th century CE), bringing to life the Chalukyas, Pallavas, Rashtrakutas, and Cholas—the dynasties that shaped southern India.


Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, Kanisetti paints a world of:

  • ? Temple-building as a tool of political power
  • ? Religious rivalries between Jains, Buddhists, Shaivas, and Vaishnavas
  • ? Elephant warfare, royal intrigues, and daring military campaigns
  • ? Ritual suicides, power struggles, and forgotten conquests


From Arabia to Southeast Asia, the wealth and might of South Indian rulers were legendary, challenging the dominance of northern kingdoms. Lords of the Deccan reveals a richer, more complex Indian history—one that will change the way you see the past forever.
