William Dalrymple

from The Borris Broadcasts · host The Festival of Writing and Ideas

DALRYMPLE'S INDIA: William Dalrymple has been for some years the most eloquent chronicler of Indian history. This talk draws from his recent book The Anarchy: The Fall of the Mughal Empire and the Rise of the East India Company, a gripping parable of gore and deceit, of unimaginable opulence and intolerable starvation, a cautionary tale of the rise of the East India Company and a supreme act of corporate violence in history.
