William Dalrymple's latest book 'The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World' is a magisterial history of Indian ideas and their spread across Eurasia. In conversation with historian Anirudh Kanisetti, Dalrymple explores centuries of this history: ancient exchanges from the Mediterranean to South India (including Greek plays about drunken merchants), the spectacular wealth and prestige of the Nalanda mega-monastery, great tantric masters like Vajrabodhi, and the reception of Indian mathematics in the Abbasid Caliphate and beyond.
