The Editors are pleased to announce a new podcast on the CRI platform. Sandeep Balakrishna a friend of CRI and Jaideep Prabhu an Editor here will take us through the history of the Madurai Sultanate in this seven episode series. The series is an adaptation of the excellent multi-post write up on the topic published by Sandeep.
The Madurai Sultanate is in many way a historical oddity – in its time the lone Muslim kingdom to have risen midst the sea of Hindu South India. Its story is a compelling introduction to the history and dynamics of the Southern Kingdoms.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
