William Dalrymple is revered across the globe for his ability to bring the extraordinary history of India to life, whether through award-winning, bestselling books like The Anarchy, or his chart-topping podcast, Empire.
His son Sam Dalrymple is a bestselling historian, award-winning film-maker, and founder of Project Dastaan, a peace-building initiative that reconnects refugees displaced by the 1947 Partition of India.
Now William and Sam come together to tell the story of more than two hundred years of tumultuous colonial history – from the beginning of the East India Company’s earliest machinations to the five partitions that shattered the British controlled ‘Indian Empire’, the legacies of which include civil wars, ongoing insurgencies, and genocide.
Do not miss the remarkable story of India and empire as it has never been told before.
