Krishnadevaraya Part 4: 1510 — Response to the Portuguese. Strategy? Or Miscalculation!
In this episode, Ramjee Chandran explores the pivotal events of 1510 and Krishnadevaraya's strategic decision not to oppose the rising Portuguese power. The episode details the Portuguese takeover of Goa from the Bijapur sultanate and the roles played by Alfonso de Albuquerque and minister Timmarasu. By examining the political landscape of the time, the episode delves into the central question of whether Krishnadevaraya's choice to trade with the Portuguese was a pragmatic masterstroke or a miscalculation with lasting consequences for the subcontinent. It highlights the disunity of the Deccan sultanates, their naval weakness, and the new era of warfare ushered in by the Portuguese.
