In this special extra full length episode, we will explore in depth about Sangamas, their rise and how they ended up forging an empire at a critical time when Hindus were cornered all over India.

And had no other choice but to fight back against the onslaught of Tuglaqh Sultanate on one end and the Madurai Sultanate on the other.

We will also decipher the Hoysala and Sangama connection and all the mysteries behind Sangamas.

In this episode we will pick up where we left last time. We had concluded the last episode with few main points:

1. That the Telugu Origin theory was mostly an after the fact concoction.

2. The Sangama Brothers getting converted to Islam and then having a fantastical ghar-wapsi too was mostly a false propaganda.

3. Finally, the Sangama Brothers mostly had no whatsoever connection with either Kampili and Kakatiya Royal families.

Correction: In the episode I had accidentally referred to Gajapati Kingdom of Orissa as escaping much of the Tuglaqh onslaught in the early-mid 14th century. It is Eastern Ganga Dynasty instead. I had spoken about this in the prior episodes. Gajapati Dynasty did not arrive until 1434 AD. So if you hear Gajapati in this episode, please replace it with the above indicated correction.
