Bharat [India]
In1001, Ghajni Mohammad invaded India. 1021 Kalinga was invaded. 1013 Kathewadi was invaded. After two centuries of effort, Muslims could settle in North India and rule from Delhi as capital city. then they started moving towards south India.
in 1293, Alauddin Khilji captured Devogiri fort in central India [Gujarat]. In 1303, he invaded Warangal in present Telangana region. In 1309, Malik Cafer captured Warangal [Kakatiya Dynasty]. In 1310, Malik Cafer attacked on Dwarasamudra [mysore region]. He enterd Malbar [costal India in south].In 1323, Warangal collapsed completely. By 1330, Muslims occupied up to central India.
In 1325, Mohammad Tugluk was Sultan at Delhi. His intolerance and cruelty was beyond limits. He eliminated the Hindu kingdoms, destroyed temples and cities. In 1336, Tuglakh captured Anegundi fort[in present central part of Karnataka] , killing the king and his family members.
In 1336, VijayaNagara Empire was founded by Hukka and Bukka brothers, with the grace of Vidyaranya Guruji. It became a shelter for Hindu community against Muslim cruelty. HAMPI was the capital of Vijayanagara which is on the south Bank of river Tungabhadra near present Hospete in Bellary district.
The Vijayanagara centered empire functioned as a barrier to the Muslim sultanates in the north, leading to the reconstruction of Hindu life, scholarship, multi-religious activity, rapid infrastructure improvements and economic activity.
Vijayanagara is located in the modern era Indian state of Karnataka, along the banks of the Tungabhadra River. It is central and eastern part of the state, close to the Andhra Pradesh border. The city rapidly grew from an ancient pilgrimage center in 13th-century, to being founded as a capital of Vijayanagara Empire in early 14th century, to being a metropolis stretching by some estimates to 650 square kilometers by early 16th century. It became the world's second largest city, after Beijing, by about 1500 CE
In 1343, Harihara [Hukka] expired after his seven years rule . Then Bukka came to power and ruled the kingdom for 37 years.During this period , Vijayanagara was expanded and all the small states of south came under Vijayanagara. It flurished and expanded to all parts of the southern peninsula. From 20/5 /1343 to 15/5/1344, Bukka expelled the Muslims from Warangal , Malabar, and Canara.Muslims were restricted to Daulatabad area only.
In 1347, Some Muslims Independently established Bahamany KIngdom at Gulbaga [kalaburgi]. Alauddin Bahamani became the Sultan of this new Kingdom. Kalburga lies towards north bank of Bheem river which is part of Krishna river.
Vijayanagar kings and Bahamanis became rivels . The Bahamani kingdom servived for next 140 years. They destrpoyed VijayaNagara in 1565.
The Vijayanagara city and its first dynasty were founded in 1336 by five sons of Sangama, of whom Harihara and Bukka became the city’s first kings. In time Vijayanagar became the greatest empire of southern India. By serving as a barrier against invasion by the Muslim sultanates of the north, it fostered the reconstruction of Hindu life and administration after the disorders and disunities of the 12th and 13th centuries. Contact with the Muslims (who were not personally disliked) stimulated new thought and creative productivity. Sanskrit was encouraged as a unifying force, and regional literatures thrived. Behind its frontiers the country flourished in unexampled peace and prosperity.
The first dynasty, the Sangama, lasted until about 1485, when—at a time of pressure from the BahmanÄ« sultan and the raja of Orissa—Narasimha of the Saluva family usurped power. By 1503 the Saluva dynasty had been supplanted by the Tuluva dynasty. The outstanding Tuluva king was Krishna Deva Raya. During his reign (1509–29) the land between the Tungabhadra and Krishna rivers (the Raichur doab) was acquired (1512), the Orissa Hindus were subdued by the capture of Udayagiri (1514) and other towns, and severe defeats were inflicted on the Bijapur sultan (1520). Krishna Deva’s successors, however, allowed their enemies to unite against them. In 1565 Rama Raya, the chief minister of Vijayanagar, led the empire into the fatal battle at Talikota, in which its army was routed by the combined forces of the Muslim states of Bijapur, Ahmadnagar, and Golconda and the city of Vijayanagar was destroyed. Tirumala, brother of Rama Raya, then seized control of the empire and founded the Aravidu dynasty, which established a new capital at Penukonda and kept the empire intact for a time. Internal dissensions and the intrigues of the sultans of Bijapur and Golconda, however, led to the final collapse of the empire about 1614.
Vijayanagar, great ruined city in southern India and also the name of the empire ruled first from that city and later from Penukonda (in present-day southwestern Andhra Pradesh state) between 1336 and about 1614. The site of the city, on the Tungabhadra River, is now partly occupied by the village of Hampi in eastern Karnataka state; the ruins at Hampi were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1986
