Ep. 06: The Sultanate Supremacy: How Delhi Won and Lost the Deccan - a podcast by IVM Podcasts - Indus Vox

As the Mongol threat faded, the warlords of Delhi turned their attention south to the riches of peninsular India. In a matter of a few decades, they would transform the fate of the subcontinent forever. The figures that led this transformation - Alauddin Khilji, Malik Kafur, and Muhammad bin Tughluq - have passed into legend.

The Delhi Sultanate came to dominate the subcontinent. But the conquest of the Deccan also spelt the beginning of its disintegration and decline.

This is the second of a two-part series exploring the improbable rise and fall of the Delhi Sultanate.
