"We should be talking about an Indian-dominated Golden Road"- William Dalrymple 

The book is on it's way to my home. Can't wait to read.

We might not agree to certain views of his but we can never deny his historical reference and how ita narrated. Always does his job so neat and never fails to keep readers off the hook.

Wonderful talk. Thank you Will. The point about different eras and periods of what has come to be called the Silk Road is very important. The map of Roman coin finds is very powerful. We know and are learning a lot about the Roman and Egyptian end of that trade but it would be wonderful to find Indian sources and more Indian perspectives on this trade. I don't mean later histories but contemporary works from the people and cultures involved in that trade.

By God! Get yourself some cough syrup man!
