pickSomeone has rightly said that truth can be stranger than fiction. This classic by William Dalrymple is a must to understand how a private joint stock holding company brought the entire Mughal empire to its knees, bits by bits. Really gripping writing to understand East India Company's conquest of India.

A successful outing to Waterstones. Of course, if I had bought the Rory Stewart book a few months earlier I could have asked him to sign it in the Hideous Concrete Fortress. #book #books #bookstagram #waterstones #piccadillywaterstones #julianbaggini #howtheworldthinks #lindseydavis #acapitoldeath #rorystewart #theplacesinbetween #theanarchy #williamdalrymple #theblackbirder #dorothybhughes #smokeandashes #abirmukherjee #thehuntingparty #lucyfoley
