William Dalrymple: The Golden Road photo
For a millenium and a half, India was a confident exporter of its diverse civilisation, as Indian art, performance, literature and scientific advancement blazed a trail along a Golden Road that stretched from the Red Sea to the Pacific.  

Join the multi-award-winning historian William Dalrymple as he draws from a lifetime of scholarship to highlight India’s oft-forgotten position as the heart of ancient Eurasia, and the spread of Indian ideas that transformed the world.
