From Dionysus to Vasco da Gama: How Europeans Saw India before the Age of Exploration?

Tom Holland in conversation with William Dalrymple | From Dionysus to Vasco da Gama: How Europeans Saw India before the Age of Exploration? Before the age of colonialism, Europeans saw India very differently from the familiar racist and Orientalist stereotypes of the Raj. Far from being a benighted land of poverty and famine, India was seen as a land of wealth and riches and plenty, a centre of philosophy and astronomy, science and mathematics, learning and wisdom. Classicist Tom Holland and historian William Dalrymple talk together about the very different Western views of India held from Herodotus and Ashoka to the age of Aryabhatta and the Guptas. Tom Holland, an award-winning historian, translator and broadcaster, is the co-presenter of Europe’s most downloaded history podcast, The Rest is History, and has written and presented several TV documentaries on subjects ranging from ISIS to dinosaurs. Holland has been described in The Times as “a leading English cricketer”. William Dalrymple is the author of the Wolfson Prize-winning White Mughals, Duff Cooper Prize-winning The Last Mughal, and the Hemingway and Kapuscinski Prize-winning Return of a King. His book, The Anarchy, was shortlisted for the Duke of Wellington medal, the Tata Book of the Year, and the Historical Writers Association Award, and won the 2020 Arthur Ross Medal from the US Council on Foreign Relations. Dalrymple has been awarded five honorary doctorates, is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, the Royal Asiatic Society, and the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and has held visiting lectureships at Princeton, Brown, and Oxford, where he is currently an Honorary Bodleian fellow and Visiting Fellow at All Souls. He was presented with the President’s Medal by the British Academy and was named one of the world’s top 50 thinkers for 2020 by Prospect Magazine. He is a founder and co-director of the Jaipur Literature Festival. #TomHolland #WilliamDalrymple #EuropeanPerspectives #IndiaBeforeColonialism #AgeOfExploration #HistoricalViews #CulturalExchange #ClassicistTalks #HistoricalInsights #WesternPerspectives #IndianHistory #PhilosophyAndAstronomy #LearningAndWisdom #CulturalConversation #HerodotusToAryabhatta #GuptaDynasty #HistoryDiscussion #ExploringIndia #CulturalHeritage #EnlightenmentEra
