Asia Society Visit

We did see William Dalrymple speak at the Asia Society. History came alive as he used illustrations from the exhibit, "Painters and Princes in Mughal Delhi (1705-1857")' which took five years to come together. He turned out to be a good speaker as well as writer and art historian. I am now reading his "Nine Lives" which chronicles the stories of faith practitioners of nine faiths of India today.H Hooefully I can find some of the pictures he used in a format that can be part of qqa talk on India I am preparing for local libraries.
