Historian and author William Dalrymple’s new book The Golden Road : How Ancient India Transformed the World sheds light on India’s position as the heart of ancient Eurasia, exploring its influence on ideas, art, spirituality, and trade.

In this conversation with Anand Vardhan, Dalrymple talks about his book, ancient Indian history, writing about the Mughals, politics, and prejudices. He also dwells into the prominence of Nalanda University, India’s soft power, and what earlier Indian historians missed.

On being asked about his work being appropriated by political parties, the author says, “I am neither a Marxist nor from the RSS... There’s prejudice in India if you’re writing about the Mughals.”
