We Indians often wear our heritage with pride, but how much of it do we truly understand?

William Dalrymple’s latest book, The Golden Road, charts the extraordinary journey of Indian ideas, knowledge, art, and religion as they shaped cultures across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. In this episode we explore the Indosphere—where Indian culture thrived beyond its borders—and uncover how these rich exchanges left an indelible mark on world history.

William was our guest almost two years ago on this show. And now, we are honoured to have him back here today, to talk about this fascinating book that uncovers the lost glory of India—The Golden Road (Bloomsbury India.)
