    Kakatiya Dynasty - Fortresses...

    The Kakatiya Dynasty emerged as a formidable power in the Deccan region of India, leaving behind a rich legacy of military strength, administrative brilliance, and cultural contributions. Their origins can be traced back to the 10th century, though historical records regarding their early rulers remain scarce. Initially, the Kakatiyas served as feudatories under the Rashtrakutas and later the Western Chalukyas, gradually expanding their influence over the Telugu-speaking region. 
    The name "Kakatiya" is believed to have originated from their association with the goddess Kakati, a form of Durga, who was worshipped as their family deity. The earliest known ruler, Venna or Beta I, established the dynasty’s foundation, but it was during the reign of Prola I that the Kakatiyas started asserting their independence. Prola II played a crucial role in strengthening their foothold by resisting Chalukyan dominance and expanding Kakatiya control over the eastern Deccan. 
    During this period, the Deccan was a contested space where multiple regional powers sought dominance. The Kakatiyas capitalized on the declining influence of the Western Chalukyas, strategically aligning themselves with or resisting various rulers to carve out an independent identity. Their stronghold was initially located in Hanamkonda, which later evolved into the grand city of Warangal, a center of Kakatiya power and cultural patronage.

    Rough Trade Book of the YearResident Book of the YearA Rolling Stone Book of the YearA Mojo Book of the YearA Sunday Times Book of the YearFormed in 1988, Lush were part of the London gig scene during one of the most vibrant and creative periods in UK music. Now, Miki Berenyi tells all.From the bohemian ways of her father's social circle to the privileged glamour of her mother's acting career, Miki's young life was a blur of travel, celebrities and peripatetic schooling. But frequent relocation, parental neglect and the dark presence of her abusive grandmother resulted in crippling shyness, mental-health issues and a vulnerability to exploitation.The route out of this hole was music - a passion shared by schoolmate Emma Anderson. The teenagers began attending gigs together and would ultimately go on to form Lush. Talented and exuberant, the band became hot property, swiftly transitioning from shoegaze icons to Britpop darlings.Re-living the tours, recording sessions and music-industry madness they experienced along the way, this uncompromising memoir documents Lush's thrilling rise and untimely fall. Yet at the heart of the book are Miki's own battles: the conflict between her mouthy public persona and her thin-skinned private identity; the trials of being a woman in an infuriatingly male world; the struggle to find a middle ground between 'safe' indie obscurity and 'sell-out' international success. Miki also explores her complicated relationship with Emma - one that has fluctuated between camaraderie and rivalry over the years - and addresses the devastating tragedy that led to the band's split.Told through frank confession, wry humour and searing emotional honesty, this is the incredible tale of a trailblazing woman and a seminal band.
