The Inquisition had also caused a fascinating influx of Jewish immigrants to the Deccan as well. Fernao Rodrigues Caldeira originally came in from Portugal, but after the inquisition followed him to Goa he made his home in Golconda and acted as an advisor to the Sultanate
The ever present counter weight to the Deccan Sultanates was Vijayanagar and Aliya Rama Raya, but even under the guise of being a Hindu Empire, was heavily influenced by Persian ministers, generals and trade, even down to their prominent style for the era
Reflecting on the great works of @UnamPillai and @AKanisetti, the Deccan had embraced multiculturalism more than most places in the world in late medieval and early modern times, a few of our favorites from the game so far
Chand Bibi ruled not 1 but 2 separate Empires in the Deccan, and fought the great polymath general Abdur Rahim Khan-e-Khana to a stand still leading an alliance of generals from the other Sultanates

@Peachtreespeaks @vijivenkatesh
Incredible piece by the wonderful @javechan_ , Jahangir had a fascinating history as Mughal Emperor, husband to one of the most powerful women in Mughal history, Noor Jahan. We plan on covering his struggles against the Deccan Sultans in a later campaign after we cover Sher Shah
South Asia, and Southern India in particular has a long historically interesting local Jewish population on the Malabar coast, In the late Medieval period there was also an influx of Portuguese "New Christians" who found a new home in the Deccan sultanates.
