Описание: #thinkingmedieval #manipur
Manipur is often discussed only when it is undergoing a crisis—but it has a rich, complex past that challenges many of our assumptions about Indian history. Anirudh Kanisetti explores the career of the Manipuri king Gharib Nawaz, which included the spread of Hinduism and the defeat of Southeast Asia's most powerful gunpowder empire.
