A Forgotten Empire (Vijayanagar): A contribution to the history of India

​ A Forgotten Empire (Vijayanagar): A Contribution to the History of India by Robert Sewell is a seminal historical work that brings to light the grandeur and significance of the Vijayanagar Empire in South India. Based on Persian, Portuguese, and local sources, Sewell reconstructs the political, cultural, and military history of the empire, which flourished from the 14th to 17th centuries. His work played a crucial role in reviving scholarly and public interest in a once-powerful but largely overlooked Indian kingdom.
