Following the death of Krishnadeva Raya in 1529, his brother, Achyuta Raya, inherited an empire fraught with danger. Ramjee Chandran explores the immense challenge of succeeding the legendary emperor, facing enemies at the gates, a cooling relationship with the Portuguese, and the looming political threat of Aliya Rama Raya. The episode examines why history, particularly through the lens of Portuguese chroniclers like Fernão Nuniz, has largely judged Achyuta Raya as "feeble". It argues that his quiet, pragmatic diplomacy — a strategy of "peace through equilibrium" — was an essential and underappreciated necessity for keeping the great empire intact.
