About the Book
This book is a comprehensive study of defensive works constructed across the Indian subcontinent, with a particular focus on South India. The first chapter examines fortifications from the Harappan period and early historic sites, drawing mainly on archaeological reports. Subsequent chapters cover South India from the 3rd to the 18th century A.D., utilizing historical records, epigraphic evidence, and extensive field investigations conducted by the author over twenty years.
For each period, exemplary fortifications are analyzed to understand construction techniques, the evolution of military technology—including artillery—and the development of typologies for defensive structures. This book offers a reliable methodology for identifying and dating fortifications in India, making it an essential resource for scholars, students, and readers interested in military architecture, archaeology, and the history of Indian fortifications.
