After Aurangzeb

British Conquest of India : Mysore, Hyderabad, Carnatic with my friend Wapnil

In this episode I talk about the British Conquest of India and focus on Battle of Plassey (1757) and Battle of Buxar (1764) and their effects on the politics of India.

I talk about the Portuguese, English, and French States in India and how they emerged in the 16th Century. We also talk about Black Holes.

I talk about the Historical Sources and how they are used for the study of History.

I talk about the Maratha Empire and the Kingdom of Mysore of 18th century. Peshwa Bajirao, Hyder Ali, Tipu Sultan and others.

The (sort of) Autonomous rulers of Awadh, Bengal and Hyderabad provinces in 18th century.

I talk to Sagar about the aftermath of Aurangzeb's reign. One last time sorry for the bad sound quality, next will be better.
