EP 18: The Forgotten Warrior Queen of South India – Rudrama Devi

We’ve all heard tales of brave kings… But what about a queen who wielded a sword, mastered politics, and shattered the limits society placed on her?

Welcome to a brand new episode of Did You Know?, hosted by Amish Tripathi, where we uncover the untold stories of India's glorious past.

This time, we travel back to 13th-century South India to rediscover Rani Rudrama Devi — a fearless warrior, a visionary ruler, and a trailblazer who proved that leadership is not defined by gender but by courage and competence.

Born into the powerful Kakatiya dynasty, Rudrama Devi was trained like a male heir by her father, King Ganapati Deva. In a bold and unprecedented move, he named her his successor, defying feudal norms. Her rise was met with resistance, but she overcame every challenge—military, political, and societal.

How did she win over a reluctant court and feudal lords? What legacy did she leave behind—and why do most history books barely mention her?

Join us as we bring to life the inspiring journey of a queen who ruled like a king—and left behind a legacy of strength, intelligence, and justice.

Watch now to rediscover a chapter of Indian history that deserves to be remembered.
