“if Hindus cannot—or are not allowed to—perform something as fundamental as Puja, they’re destroyed in ways our imagination cannot even fathom.”
Sandeep Balakrishna, 10 Lessons from Hindu History in 10 Episodes: Tales of Grit, Heroism and Valour

“When Fakr Bawni, an incredibly rich merchant from Delhi, offered him all his wealth just so he could have the great honour of just a few moments of audience with His Highness, Balban refused. Bawni was merely a malik-ut-tujjar, the chief of merchants. Meeting such a low man would ‘compromise the dignity of the sovereign’78.”
Sandeep Balakrishna, Invaders and Infidels (Book 1): From Sindh to Delhi: The 500-Year Journey of Islamic Invasions

“Coorg had always been a principality under powerful dynasties of Karnataka like the Kadambas, Chalukyas, Gangas, Cholas, Rashtrakutas, and the Vijayanagar Empire.”
Sandeep Balakrishna, Tipu Sultan - The Tyrant of Mysore
