Speakers
John Keay has been writing about India for over forty years. His India : A History ( 2000-2010) is the standard narrative account of South Asia’s past, while India Discovered (1981 and still in print) has inspired a generation of research into the nineteenth-century reconstruction of India’s classical past. Also still in print is The Honourable Company (1991), a sweeping history of the English East India Company. His latest work is an intriguing biographical quest – The Tartan Turban : In Search of Alexander Gardner.
