About — Kavita Puri https://share.google/eulHraXxMwf0ZcilD anything by this lady! I've only read her articles in BBC History magazine, and she writes so well.

Empire Podcast is very good. Start at episode 1 with East India company. There are over 300 episodes now so will need to scroll back to 1st episode. William Dalrymple and Anita Anand are brilliant and engaging and stick to known facts.
