Bharat and The Centuries Of Invasions | Decoding India's History Of Warfare | Indology Episode 3

Why did Prithviraj Chauhan lose to Muhammad Ghori? How did Nayaki Devi defeat Ghori, and why did the mighty Mongols fail to conquer India? In this episode of NDTV's Indology, Gauri Dwivedi speaks to defence analyst Abhijit Iyer-Mitra about the military strategies, intelligence failures and tactical advantages that shaped India's warfare history. From the use of war horses and elephants to the terrain-driven victories of Lachit Borphukan and Chhatrapati Shivaji, the conversation challenges popular historical narratives and separates military fact from medieval myth.
