The difference is that Vijayanagara crumbled after over 200 years of resistance to the various Bhamani Sultans where as Muslims just walked over Bengal most of the time.

Yes it is a frontier state but so was Bengal, yet Assam was never conquered.

It's not my fault that you don't know history, firstly more than 50% of the South wasn't under British rule, it was under the Nizam and other kingdoms, nextly there were numerous freedom fighters from South India but they are unknown outside their respective states so don't blame us because the Indian gov't is stupid enough to not teach a true pan indian history, one of the freedom fighters was Alluri Sita Ram Raju from Andhra Pradesh who led the tribal rebellion against British and who was later executed by them, he is famous in Andhra but is unknown outside Andhra and let us say Vanchi Iyer is an exception, even then why is he not known very much? and why is the battle of Colachel virtually unknown?

the carnage at hampi was probably the worst "crumbling" witnessed in india.
and bengal wasnt a frontier state.
assam was.
the mountains of garo khashi and lushai (now in the 7 sister states) were the natural eastern boundaries of bengal.
well i have been to the cellular jail in andaman and have seen exactly who died for india's freedom and who didnt.
addition:
one reason why the southern resistance against the non-english europeans (dutch etc) is not well known is that the main oppressor/coloniser of india were the poms.
