Anirudh Kanisetti is a scholar and the host of two history podcasts, Echoes of India and Yuddha, all about the military history of the Indian subcontinent. He’s super thoughtful and insightful - but even more, he’s absolutely passionate about the subject.

Did you know that India is the size of Europe, but even more diverse and many times more populous - comprising about one-sixth of humanity? How much do you know about India and the subcontinent? How much do you know about its history?

In this chat, Anirudh and I talk suppressed histories; the political dangers of uncovering history; the Germany of India; the best movie you’ve probably never even heard about; our world in a younger state; the not-so-new concept of globalization; and so much more.
