'India's influence on Asia, Europe extraordinary' - William Dalrymple tells Anirudh Kanisetti

#theprintuninterrupted
William Dalrymple's latest book 'The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World' is a magisterial history of Indian ideas and their spread across Eurasia. In conversation with historian Anirudh Kanisetti, Dalrymple explores centuries of this history: ancient exchanges from the Mediterranean to South India (including Greek plays about drunken merchants), the spectacular wealth and prestige of the Nalanda mega-monastery, great tantric masters like Vajrabodhi, and the reception of Indian mathematics in the Abbasid Caliphate and beyond.

When a left leaning person like William Darlymple praises Bharath we have to be very careful.
Samething West did with Islamic Countries when Soviet Russia invaded Afghanistan.
Inorder to prepare Mujahids same tactics was used.

He isn't left leaning. No sane left leaning person would try to whitewash British or Islamic colonialism.
