The Buddha & The Golden Road

India was the forgotten heart of the ancient world. For a millennium and a half, from about 250 BC to 1200 AD, India was a confident exporter of its diverse civilisation, creating around it a vast empire of ideas, an ‘Indosphere’.

How the Kushans, and their profitable trade with Rome, gave the Buddha an entirely new image

During my trip to Gambia, my family showed me precious books that’d been passed down through generations dating back to Timbuktu.

Our history survives through preservation, archiving and love. It was an incredible experience to sit with these in real life 📚

The only poet other than Ghalib whose verses drew a commentary was Momin. He was Ghalib's contemporary and much admired by the latter.
My next book insha allah will be on Momin.
