		The Hindu Marathas had long lived in the Desh region around Satara in the western portion of the Deccan plateau, where it meets the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats, and had resisted incursions into the region by the Muslim Mughal rulers of northern India.
		Under their leader Shivaji, the Maratha freed themselves from the Muslim sultans of Bijapur to the southeast, and became much more aggressive and began to frequently raid Mughal territory, sacking the Mughal port of Surat in 1664.
		To nullify any rajput-Maratha alliance, as well as to resume his long affair with the Deccan Sultanates, in 1682, the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb himself headed south with the entire imperial court, the imperial administration, and an army of about 180,000 troops, which proceeded to conquer the sultanates of Bijapur and Golconda.

		Also, in 1656, at the time of the death of Muhammad Adilshah of Bijapur (November 4), Shah Jehan and NOT Aurangzeb was on the throne of Delhi, the latter ascending to it only in 1658 after neutralising the challenge posed by his three brothers, and incarcerating his ailing father in the Agra fort.
		Whether that Sultanate was indeed as powerless as the good Assistant Professor attempts to make out, is a debatable point, especially when it is observed that it took the powerful Mughals all of thirty years from 1656 C.E., as well as Aurangzeb's personal campaigning, to finally relegate it to oblivion!
		The Assistant Professor also forgets that it was the Adilshah at Bijapur who held possession of much of the western coastline, the control of which would secure logistic support for the first indigenous Navy that Shivaji was to commission not too much later.

		The essay, titled 'A Sultan Among Hindu Kings'—a reference to the title by which the Kings of Vijayanagara referred to themselves—pointed out the degree to which the elite culture of Vijayanagara was heavily Islamicised by the 16th century, its civilisation "deeply transformed through nearly two centuries of intense and creative interaction with the Islamic world".
		The survey has emphasised the degree to which the buildings of 16th century Vijayanagara were inspired by the architecture of the nearby Muslim sultanates, mixing the traditional trabeate architecture of the Hindu South with the arch and dome of the Islamicate North.
		The picture revealed by Eaton's work is of a city dominated by an atmosphere of heterodox intellectual enquiry, with the libraries of Bijapur swelling with esoteric texts produced on the intellectual frontier between Islam and Hinduism.
