🚨 New episode 🚨 The Buddha & The Golden Road India was the forgotten heart of the ancient world. For a millennium and a half, from about 250 BC to 1200 AD, India was a confident exporter of its diverse civilisation, creating around it a vast empire of ideas, an ‘Indosphere’.

Today is the birthday of the great king buried in this tomb. He founded a mighty empire, then the greatest the world had seen, which will be the subject of our next series @EmpirePodUK... Any guesses?

@tweeter_anita &I did two episodes earlier this year @EmpirePodUK on the roots of the current conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis. One, with James Barr, was on the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement and the way the British and the French partitioned the Middle East
