Miscellaneous Topics on Indian History

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm particularly interested in knowing more about 17th century Deccan in all areas/topics. Militarily (Dissemination of gunpowder and firearms), how society was influenced by this, about the society in general, the politics of those times i.e. the Bahmani successor states, the remnant of the weak Vijayanagara, the new players like Portugese, British, French etc., abouth the lifestyle, arts, culture, passtimes, about the language spoken in various parts of Deccan. In nutshell everything. Reason I believe this era was when lots of changes were happening very rapidly due to contact with Europe, gunpowder dissemination etc.

Please share your knowledge and also suggest sources from where more can be known.
Regards,
