  • Indian history is full of interesting women, but perhaps foremost among them is Rudrama Devi, a Telugu Queen whose rule as Queen-Regnant of the famed Kakatiya Dynasty lasted for thirty years.
    During this time, she fought off a number of different adversaries, and continued in her father's footsteps, implementing many impactful social reforms. Even today, the water tanks installed during her reign see use.
    Whether you're looking for a feminist perspective on Indian history, or are simply looking to understand a storied dynasty and one of its greatest rulers, it is worth getting to know Rudrama Devi.
    Enjoy!

      Its easier to be a queen than to finish education, she had 14 feudal vassals, all of them taught statecraft since they were kids, she was given training in statecraft herself and also had 2 of the greatest war tacticians in south indian history... her prime minister was a famed politician and was called machiavelli of the east by marco polo... what did you have as a 16 year old, these royals had it all... I respect people like venna deva and durjaya, having formed not 1, not 2 but 3 different great feudal kingdoms, the velanati cholas, the Nellor Ambadikas and the kakatiyas... great people build their empires not inherit

In this video, they explained about Veerashaivism and its reform against caste.

Bharatiya from the south were staunch followers to santan dharma. We adore southern manifestations of the dharma with it's own culture that is the beauty of sanatan parampara . Be in kannad ,mallayali , Tamil or telgu.

    As a person born in Warangal, I feel proud. My ancestors were Generals in Kakatiya empire.

    Wow!! Another video from you. Awesome as usual. We never learnt about these in school. So, learning about these is really eye opening.
    I have a request...😅. If its possible, can you make a video about the Bengal region in the future?.. I'm from there, but I khow very little about our history ( I know about british time and post independence obviously as they taught us in school). Your videos are historically very accurate and well made. It's always enjoyable to watch them. Please consider my request...😅😁😁

      Thank you! And I will definitely consider a video focusing on something interesting from Bengal - it may be a few videos down the line though. Just a heads up that my next video will also heavily feature a Bengali kingdom (the Palas), so stay tuned!
