I feel very lucky to have received a little preview of Nandini Das’s sparkling new book, #CourtingIndia. Meticulously researched and full of lively descriptions of early modern London, Surat & Ajmer, all while beautifully reflecting on how memories shape our view of the world.

Jigging gently towards this crowd-funding scheme for the arts and humanities...

It was a delight to do this, based on ERC TIDE research and commissioned poems by poet Sarah Howe.

I'm in very good company in the March issue of the BBC History magazine, talking about #CourtingIndia to Rhiannon Davies.

I had forgotten completely -- this, indeed, is on tonight on BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking.
