#readingrecs Anita Anand and William Dalrymple’s Koh-i-Noor - the history of the world’s most infamous diamond What South Asian origin person hasn’t grown up knowing of the Koh-i-Noor, a symbol of British colonial thievery and exploitation? Anand and Dalrymple are master storytellers of all things empire as listeners of their podcast and readers of Dalrymple’s other work will know. This book is, as expected, an engaging jaunt. We follow the journey of the notorious diamond through various hands over time, purported, and factual when possible. Reading this draws us to an oft-asked series of questions: How should colonial spoils be repatriated after such swathes of time and violence have passed, when the colonizing powers (still!) have little intent toward reparative acts? Is there ever any accountability? There are some delicious descriptions of subcontinental gems in this book, gleaned from historical texts; for example, from Khazain-al-Futuh, written for Sultan Alauddin Khalji by Amir Khusrau: “the pearls glistened so brilliantly that the brow of the clouds will have to perspire for years before such pearls again reach the treasury of the sea. For generations the mines will have to drink blood in the stream of the sun before rubies such as these are produced.”

From the acclaimed author of The Company Quartet tetralogy comes a sweeping history of India and its place in ancient Eurasia. From art and music to religion and mathematics, ancient India was a confident exporter of diverse civilisation and a power from which an Indosphere sprouted and thrived for a millennium and a half. Here, William Dalrymple ventures along the ‘Golden Road’, stretching from the shores of India and out across the Red Sea and the Pacific, as he charts the history of these ideas as they spread across the globe.

“I truly believe that stories are to be shared, and I am opposed to the kind of cultural xenophobia where stories are seen as belonging to a particular culture. I think stories connect us”… My interview with Bulgarian filmmaker #KonstantinBojanov @kbojanov whose first Hindi film #TheShameless is one of the three with India link in the official selection of @festivaldecannes Cannes this year. Other two are in @quinzaine_des_cineastes and L’Acid. Among other things, Konstantin talks about being inspired from #WilliamDalrymple’s book #NineLives, the persistence of the theme of escape in his films, about six nations coming together to make this one film, his cast and crew, the shoot in Nepal and what makes Cannes so special.

PICK OF THE WEEK KOHINOOR The Kohinoor is the world's most famous diamond, but it has always had a fog of mystery around it. Now, using previously untranslated sources, William Dalrymple and Anita Anand blow away the legends to reveal its true history – stranger, and more violent, than any fiction. Moving from the Mughal court to Nadir Shah's Persia, from Maharaja Ranjit Singh's durbar in Punjab to Queen Victoria's palace, this thrilling tale is full of drama and intrigue. #kohinoor #williamdalrymple #anitaanand #juggernaut #indiebookstore #guwahatibookstagrammers #assambookstagrammers #guwahatibookclub #thebuddhagrove

This one took me almost three months to finish, firstly because it’s nearly 400pg book, secondly because it’s non-fiction (history not being my subject), and thirdly because of the difficult vocabulary (Tharoor says it’s lucidly written 🙃) -book consists of excerpts from the letters written by British officials, also Dalrymple’s vocab is not so lucid for me. Didn’t start off well for me, but as the story unveiled, I found it quite intriguing. Have heard of ‘Divide and Rule’ since childhood, how it was actually implemented for over a century by EIC (East India Company) was clear after reading this book. And they wouldn’t have conquered without the support of existing rulers (be it Mughals, Nizam or Marathas) & their internal conflicts and their quest for being at the helm. Point to note: India was not conquered by Britain, but by a for-profit organisation which existed for enriching its investors. Excited to move to my next set of fiction thrillers. @williamdalrymple #book #books #bookstagram #anarchy #williamdalrymple #history #eastindiacompany #britain #power #india #read #reading #nonfiction #eic #london #bengal #battle #bloodshed #mughal #marathas #nizam

Sold “The Last Mughal: The Fall of a Dynasty, Delhi, 1857” by William Dalrymple is a meticulously researched and gripping account of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, and its aftermath. The focus of the book is on Bahadur Shah II, the titular “Last Mughal,” who was the nominal leader of the rebellion. Dalrymple paints a vivid picture of Delhi during this tumultuous period, capturing the atmosphere of fear, violence, and political intrigue that engulfed the city. #williamdalrymple #india #indianhistory #nonfictionbooks #library #oldbookdepot #prelovedbooks #booklover #booksindia #bookreaders #books #bookgram #bookshelf #book #booklovers #booknerd #bookstagram #booklove #bookscommunity #bookstagrammer #bookgeek #bookclub #bookreader #biblophile #bookworm #bookrecommendations #bookaddict #booksbooksbooks #instabook

Doing our best impression of a group of undergraduates! Here’s @hamishmorjaria @amitamurray , me & @himanijayasuriyaweir at @histfestuk listening to William Dalrymple discuss the Rise of the East India Company. #JaneAusten had direct ties to this pervasive corporation. Her 1st cousin, Eliza, was born in India, the daughter of a EIC surgeon and awarded a 10k fortune by her godfather, EIC administrator Warren Hastings. Eliza married Henry Austen, who financed his sister’s debut. So I don’t think it’s a stretch to say money from the company went into publishing Austen’s novels. #historylovers #historyobsessed #historyreader #JaneAusten #Regency #georgian #gothicnovel #williamdalrymple #theanarchy #eastindiacompany #britishlibrary #bookstagram #histfest

1707 - 1803, this period of roughly a 100 years was a period of tumultuous upheaval in the Indian subcontinent. Mughal decline which had started late in Aurangzeb’s reign became terminal. Regional governors of the Mughal’s in Awadh, Hyderabad & Bengal filled the power vacuum by becoming sovereigns in all but name. The Marathas rose and fell in West & Central India as did Tipu Sultan’s Mysore in the South. Surprisingly amid all these Indian polities jostling for supremacy, the entity which emerged as masters of the subcontinent were a motley group of merchants who came to Indian shores as spice traders. One of the ‘OG’ MNCs of the world - the birth , triumphs and travails of the East India Company are brought to life in glorious prose by my favourite author - William Dalrymple. #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #williamdalrymple #theanarchy #history #britishraj #soulfulreading
I rarely say this about a non-fiction book. But this was a page turner. What a riveting account of Indian history! The book is full of several lesser known insights and a very detailed perspective of how the British came to rule India. It delves into how it took a cunning Robert Clive, the greed of one corporate, wealthy Marwari bankers (Jagat Seths) and foolishness of some of the Mughal rulers to change the fate of the country. I did not know so many details about our own history. Wish I had loved reading history back in school ;) But it's never too late to gain knowledge 🤷♀️ QOTD: Do you like reading historical fiction or non-fiction?

William Dalrymple pre-launched his new book titled 'The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed The World' in New Delhi. He busted 3 historical assumptions. One, the Silk Road isn’t as big of a deal as it is made out to be. The real thing was what Dalrymple called the Golden Road. The latter was a dizzyingly interconnected world of economic and cultural links between India, Egypt and Rome. And India enjoyed unparalleled primacy for a millennium-and-a-half from 250 BC to 1200 CE as a confident exporter on this Golden Road. Two, the global dominance of Indian trade and ideas came to an end, not because of Turkish invaders like Ghazni and Ghori, but because of the Mongol invaders in 1200 CE. Three, the Hellenistic-looking Gandhara sculptures of Buddha were influenced by the Romans, not the Greeks.

I Love India! Without a doubt it’s one of my favourite countries. I’m been lucky enough to have been four times and if I add up the total time I’ve stayed there it’s been a year and half of my life! I worked out there filming on a job for a couple of months. As you can tell I love research and I was assistant costume designer on a job called Beecham house which was set in India at the end of the 18th century. It’s probably been, out of the jobs I’ve done, my favourite to research! This was it because the Indian costume was something completely unknown to me and I had to start from scratch and completely immersed myself in it and bloody loved it. William Dalrymple (the famous Indian historian) was an advisory and I was a bit awe as I’ve read most of his books and because of him I knew about the Fraser album. The Fraser album was invaluable costume resource of research for that project and is an amazing collection of art within itself! The Fraser Album is a collection of paintings commissioned by the British Indian civil servant William Fraser. It is considered among the greatest masterpieces of Company painting. This work is an important documentation of the Mughal empire towards its end. The artwork covered life during the Mughal era. The compendium comprises portraits of villagers, soldiers, holy men, dancing women, Afghan horse-dealers, ascetics, village of Rania and Indian nobles. Some of the noted Mughal painters, like Ghulam Ali Khan, his brother Faiz, and family worked on the Fraser Album, after financial support from the Mughal emperor diminished. There are over 90 paintings and drawings in the album, which came to light in Fraser’s papers only in 1979. Most were painted between 1815 and 1819. I hope to get back to India again soon and I want to take my husband who has never been, as his family history goes back centuries in India and we recently found out he’s a quarter Indian too and we are both very happy about that! 😀 #ladysapientia #fraseralbum #williamfraser #india #mughal #companypaintings #indianfashion #indianclothing #19thcenturydress #19thcenturyclothing #williamdalrymple #beechamhouse #fashionhistory #dresshistory #historicalfashion

Recenzja: Wstęp do kolonializmu (i kapitalizmu) Ta ogromna książka historyczna opowiada o kluczowych dekadach, w których Brytyjska Kompania Wschodnioindyjska - zaczynając od zapyziałego i malarycznego pomostu gdzieś na bagnach Bengalu - opanowała i zdominowała najbogatsze imperium na Ziemi, stając się przy okazji pierwszą w dziejach, zupełnie rozpasaną prywatną korporacją: dysponując armią, flotą i kolosalnym kapitałem. Książka pozwala zrozumieć, w jaki sposób narodziła się brytyjska dominacja, która trwała na świecie przez kolejne 200 lat. I dokładnie te wątki - narodziny Kompanii, jej polityczny wpływ, ekonomika jej działania, a potem londyńskie reperkusje i katastrofa - są w “Anarchii” najciekawsze. Jednak autor idzie znacznie dalej - jako zupełny fanatyk historii Indii, dysponując nieograniczonym dostępem do tamtejszych archiwów, rozpisuje proces niezmiernie szczegółowo, brnąc w historie rodowe waśni lokalnych indyjskich królestw, z mnóstwem drobnych potyczek i zupełnie nic nam niemówiących nazwisk ich książąt, radżów i hanów. To nawet na początku jest ciekawe, ale przez kolejne 300 (!) stron - przestaje być. “Anarchia” Williama Dalrymple jest zatem bardzo nierówna, fenomenalna i nurzącs zarazem. 3 / 5 - dla pasjonatów mocna czwórka 😀 [William Dalrymple "Anarchia. Niepowstrzymany rozkwit Brytyjskiej Kompanii Wschodnioindyjskiej", przeł.
