Rajyapati Vijay Deva Raya

26th January 1657

Simhasana Bhavana, Bengaluru City

The day of much anticipation is finally here, the day that signifies the unification of the subcontinent that hadn't happened for many centuries has finally become a reality. In the minds of the Bharatiya people, Vijay has attained the same status as the greatest kings of Bharat, whether it is Ashoka the Great, Chandra Gupta Maurya, Samudra Gupta, or even Harsha Vardhana, who were all great emperors of their time and who almost unified a large part of the subcontinent.

Currently, in the city of Bengaluru, the security conditions are very strict. There are nearly 50,000 police officers temporarily assigned from various parts of the empire stationed in the capital to maintain internal security. There are also 100,000 troops stationed on the outskirts of Bengaluru at defensive points located in all four directions of the city.
