Two Eras of Indian History - how different they were

Two Eras of Indian History - how different they were

Registration for this event opens on 28 April 2025

Presenter:  Janice Gemmell 

1.  500BC - 1200AD - 'People of distant places, with diverse customs, generally designate the land they most admire as India' - so wrote Xuanzang, a Chinese Buddhist monk in the early 7thC AD. This is the era of India claimed by William Dalrymple in his book 'The Golden Road' which was 'How Ancient India transformed the World". I will be exploring several of the aspects of this time in the first part of my talk.

2. 1500AD - 1947 AD. The time of the East India Companies, the takeover of India by the British East India Company, India becoming part of the British Empire up to the granting of Independence.
A lot of history to be told - my aim is to whet your appetite to encourage you to find out more !
