  As foreign invasions and internal struggles reshaped India’s political landscape, a few powerful kingdoms stood as the last great defenders of Indian sovereignty before their eventual decline.  
  The Pala Empire, the Vijayanagara Empire, and the Chola Empire were among the most influential dynasties, each leaving a lasting impact on Indian culture, politics, and military strategy.  
  The Pala Empire, known for its strong Buddhist patronage, was one of the last major bastions of Buddhism in India, promoting education through institutions like Nalanda. The Chola Empire, a dominant force in South India, built a vast maritime network, expanded its influence to Southeast Asia, and created architectural marvels such as the Brihadeeswarar Temple.  
  The Vijayanagara Empire, founded as a Hindu stronghold against Islamic expansion, became a beacon of art, culture, and military resilience, with its capital, Hampi, standing as a testament to its grandeur.  
  Despite their military strength and cultural achievements, these kingdoms eventually fell to foreign invasions and internal strife, marking the end of an era in Indian history.

  This is the true story of a woman who discovered a fascinating new way of living, refreshingly different to the rat race she had become trapped in. This new world was full of machoism, sexism and a complete lack of political correctness. Brizo entered a world where she was constantly surprised that being her filthy and inappropriate self was instantly accepted and even welcomed. She had glided into the world of sailing. The rough and rugged unkempt sailor types kept her dripping wet both in and out of the water. While Brizo was frustrated with the sexism that exists on deck, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that women are respected for taking charge down below. She found herself in a world where women were given credit for having many lovers and for being assertive in the bedroom. I suppose when the ratio of men is so much higher than that of women, a sailor is grateful he's secured a mermaid on his hook.

  An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
  		 
  Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
  		 
  In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
  		 
  Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.
