The Golden Road by William Dalrymple
The Golden Road examines how India, in the ancient and early medieval periods, exported religion, art, science, mathematics and institutions across Eurasia—from Afghanistan to Japan. It traces the movements of merchants, scholars, artisans and missionaries to show India’s role as a central economic and cultural hub shaping civilizations such as Angkor and Ayutthaya.
