This online certificate course, a first of its kind, discusses twenty-one military expeditions undertaken by Indian empires in foreign countries. We explore in particular the nature of expeditions undertaken in the context of the martial traditions of Bharat, the concept of Digvijaya, and the nature of rule by theChakravarthis. We also investigate these conquests and rule for their grounding in dharma and compare with foreign rulers.
With one lecture per expedition, the course will have a total of twenty-five dedicated lectures, alongside few others. Each expedition will be analysed for its geopolitical context or environment, objectives, tactics & strategies conceived, and results. All lectures will also include a discussion space for the contemporary lessons that we can learn from these expeditions.
