520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc A Forgotten Empire is a comprehensive historical analysis of the Vijayanagar Empire in South India, which flourished between the 14th and 17th centuries. Robert Sewell, a British civil servant and historian, compiled historical records, inscriptions, and traveler accounts—most notably those of Portuguese and Persian visitors—to reconstruct the political, military, cultural, and architectural achievements of this once-mighty empire. He describes the rise and fall of the Vijayanagar dynasties, culminating in the catastrophic Battle of Talikota (1565), which led to the empire’s eventual destruction.<br/>Sewell’s work remains foundational, especially due to its use of epigraphic evidence, archaeological detail, and early European accounts, offering valuable insight into pre-colonial Indian polity and society.
