Vijayanagar Empire

Raichur and Goa remained under the control of the Sultan of Bijapur. The last historical event of the reign of Adilshah is also clear from the article of Firishta. It is astonishing that between 1509 and 1510, the Christians killed the Governor of Goa and many Muslims. Realizing this, Adilshah, along with his 3,000-strong army and natives, recaptured the fort at Goa and killed many Christians. These were the Portuguese who entered Goa in 151. Ahmednagar. Ahmed Nizam Shah, who declared his independence in Ahmednagar in 1490 AD, died in 1508 and was succeeded by his seven-year-old son Burhan. Adilshah died in 151 and was succeeded by his son Ismail. The city of Vijayanagar was taken over by Krishnadeva Raya in 1509. The battle of Raichur dealt a heavy blow to Ismail and ensured the ultimate victory of the Vijayanagara king. Before embarking on an analysis of the reign of Krishnadevaraya, it is necessary to know the occupation of the Portuguese Christians. They s

In 1493, Adilshah moved against Raichur and clashed with Narasimha, the minister of Vijayanagar. The victory was for Adilshah, but Adilshah was seriously injured and died. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Narasimha came to power in Vijayanagar. Firishta wrote about the fall of the old dynasty and the rise of Narasimha. After poisoning the weak king of Vijayanagara, Narasimha turned his underage brother into his puppet and gained dictatorship. Following Narasimha's death, his son Narasa came to power. By marrying the daughter of the former king, he increased his dominance and prestige in the kingdom. Here is another very plausible explanation. In 1489, Adil Khan proclaimed himself king of Bijapur. Soon after his enemy, Qasim Barid, who had ruled over many parts of Ahmedabad, became jealous and marched against Bijapur, collaborating with Vijayanagar, promising to reward Mudkal and Raichur. Sometime later, around 1493 AD, Sultan Yusuf Adil Khan set out for Krishna to

The strongest of the many dynasties that ruled South India was that of Narasimha, the second dynasty to come to power in Vijayanagar in 1487 AD. Narasimha came to power when king Padeyarao who subdued the country in the face of oppressive Islamic extremists and was overthrown by the people due to public outrage. He was a powerful and famous ruler. Narasimha was a member of the Saluva family, who had a decisive influence on society. They were already influential in the inner circles of power. Narasimha was also known as Maharaya. Under his strict rule, the city of Vijayanagar was steady and robust enough to resist the Islamic invasion. The last rulers of the first dynasty are believed to be in power till 1490 . According to historical records, Narasimha and Veeranarasimha ruled the country till 1509 when Krishnadevaraya came to power. Achutha succeeded Krishnadevaraya in 1530 and Sadasiva in 1542. Sadasiva was under the control of his ministers Ramaraya, Thiruma

Governor Muhammad Gawan set out from Bidar to attack Vijayanagar with his army. According to the available figures, Vijayanagar had three hundred elephants, one lakh infantry and fifty thousand horses. The Sultan's army consisted of nine hundred thousand infantry and five hundred and seventy - five elephants. The king of Vijayanagar, a large city surrounded by three forts with gorges on one side and valleys on the other, was very powerful. During the month-long war, many people lost their lives without access to food and water. Muhammad, who ascended the throne at Kulberga in 1482 AD at the age of twelve, was only nominal in his reign. As the upper classes turned against Muhammad's rule, the atmosphere became unsustainable. The governor of Goa declared his independence and invaded many places, setting the stage for a civil war. Later, the country itself became fragmented as the higher echelons of the authorities became synonymous with disciplinary violations. Vijay

According to the historical narrative of Firishta, Muhammad Shah's subsequent move was aimed at Narasimha Raya of Rajamundri. Despite a strong army of about seven hundred thousand infantry and five hundred elephants like the 'Iron Mountains', the king retreated like a coward. The sultan came to know of the town of Conchee, which has several temples not far from his base in Malur, and destroyed the city completely. Mohammad continued his advance to Masulipattam and ended his series of attacks. On his return to Kondapalli, he assassinated his governor Muhammad Gawan. The assassination of Muhammad Gawan paved the way for the collapse of the Bahmani Empire. Although the Sultan's plan to invade and capture Goa from Vijayanagara's control, the king of Vijayanagara sent troops, but after the death of Muhammad Shah on March 21, 1482, the plan of attack was halted. It is worth noting some of the descriptions given by the Russian traveler Athanasius Ni

The Bahmani Empire was later divided into five princely states due to continuous internal strife. After the death of Ala-ud-din in 1458, his cruel son Humayun came to power. The next year he himself invaded Telangana and made an attempt to seize Devarakonda, but Humayun's army was driven out, unable to resist the strong resistance of the Hindus. When Humayun died in September 1461, it was a great relief to the people of Bahmani. Mallikarjuna is believed to have been the king of Vijayanagar at that time. After Humayun, Nizam shah succeeded him, but his rule did not last long. His brother Muhammad came to power in 1463 as heir apparently in the middle of 1469.During the reign of the Virupaksha I, Muhammad Gawan, Muhammad shah’s minister, marched with his army to the Western Ghats and conquered Goa, which was under Vijayanagara rule. The war was in retaliation for the massacre of some Muslim horsemen in 1469 AD. During this period, seaborne trade was completely dominated b
