About this Event

Speakers: Nandini Das and William Dalrymple

Across oceans and centuries, England and India emerge not as distant worlds but as entangled histories of movement, trade and imagination.

Drawing on rich archival fragments, author Nandini Das traces merchants, migrants, sailors and spies who moved between Tudor and Stuart England and India, unsettling ideas of nation, identity and belonging. Together with historian, author and Jaipur Literature Festival Co-Director William Dalrymple, they evaluate the encounter and exchanges that reshapes our understanding of an interconnected world.

Join Nandini and William for an in-conversation event.
