A proposito di questo titolo

In the wake of the Gupta Empire's decline, northern India fractured into rival kingdoms. Yet one man—Harsha of Kannauj—reunited much of the region and became the subject of a vivid biography by the Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang. Episode 5 explores Harsha's rise from a minor prince to the ruler of a vast empire, his military campaigns against the Chalukyas, his patronage of Buddhism and Nalanda University, and the annual Prayag assembly where he gave away his wealth. We also examine the sources: Bana's poetic 'Harshacharita' and Xuanzang's meticulous travelogue. How did a seventh-century king balance conquest and compassion? And why does his empire fade so quickly after his death? Join Lucas and Luna as they uncover the story of India's last great ancient emperor.
