William Dalrymple is back in Australia to present a history of the Mughals, East India Company, and the Partition of India.

From the rise of the Mughal Empire to British colonialism, the East India Company to it’s demise, William Dalrymple brings 400 years of South Asian history to life with his signature wit, charm, and masterful storytelling.

Author of The Golden Road and the four-part The Company Quartet, Dalrymple explores how Indian philosophy, art, language, and science shaped the modern world – tracing legacies from Angkor Wat to the invention of zero.

After each presentation, Dalrymple will be joined by a special guest interviewer, offering a rare glimpse into the personal journey and creative process of one of the world’s most respected public intellectuals.

A must-attend event for fans of the Empire podcast, history lovers, and anyone curious about the forces that shaped the Indian subcontinent.
