History Unpacked: The Why, When and What of Medieval India dives into a thousand years of wars, poets, plunder and surprising partnerships. Through timelines, hilarious comics, clever quizzes and one cheeky poem, discover how history was written, whose stories were forgotten and why the past still argues with us today.
