'The Golden Road - How Ancient India Transformed the World' by William Dalrymple
This book stands as one of the finest analyses of India's remarkable influence on the world. It's an eye-opener that challenges many false narratives.
I can't help but wish for this book to be adapted into an extensive semi-documentary series, with Mr. Dalrymple himself guiding us through it.
This work is a product of meticulous research, demanding thorough rereading and a diligent examination of notes and references. It's perfect for anyone with even a remote interest in history.
Mr. Dalrymple convincingly chronicles how so much originated in the subcontinent and spread across the globe. He traces the birth and spread of religions throughout the Indosphere, illustrating how ancient India was revered as a mystical fountainhead of knowledge and cultural sophistication. The book leaves us contemplating whether India can once again become the guiding light of knowledge for the 21st-century world.
@williamdalrymple Thank you sir!
