LORD VIRUPAKSHA OF HAMPI

A reading of the recounter's reaction to the pathetic picture of the destruction truly sends chills in the spines of the readers and brings tears unknown to themselves. He writes - "Never perhaps in the history of the world had such havoc been wrought and wrought so suddenly, on so splendid a city; teeming with a wealthy and industrious population in the full plentitude of prosperity one day, and on the next day seized, pillaged, and reduced to ruins".

Now come up the questions how, and when that remarkable Hindu banner was hoisted and by whom and under whose grace. Answers lead to the History of India of the thirteen century, particularly South India.
