Travelling from his New Delhi home, ground-breaking historian, travel-writer, and broadcaster William Dalrymple joins us in St Andrews! We look forward to hearing him discuss 'The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World'.
William Dalrymple draws from a lifetime of scholarship to highlight India's oft-forgotten position as the heart of ancient Eurasia. For the first time, he gives a name to this spread of Indian ideas that transformed the world. From the largest Hindu temple in the world at Angkor Wat to the Buddhism of Japan to the creation of the numerals we use today (including zero), India transformed the culture and technology of its ancient world - and our world today as we know it.
Thursday 26th September, 7:30pm. St Mark's Church, KY16 9UY. Doors open 6:50pm.
