The golden road: How ancient India transformed the world /
Dalrymple, William
The golden road: How ancient India transformed the world / by William Dalrymple - London; New Delhi: Bloomsbury , 2024. - 482 p. Hard Back
William Dalrymple draws from a lifetime of scholarship to highlight India’s oftforgotten position as the heart of ancient Eurasia. For the first time, he gives a name to this spread of Indian ideas that transformed the world. From the largest Hindu temple in the world at Angkor Wat to the Buddhism of China, from the trade that helped fund the Roman Empire to the creation of the numerals we use today (including zero), India transformed the culture and technology of its ancient world – and our world today as we know it.
