Will Dalrymple has written many books on India. He has a genetic connection thro' ancestors in India going back 3 centuries, and has a home in India He started his literary career at the age of 22 whilst still an undergraduate at Cambridge, won awards on that travel book and most , if not all others he has written. In my estimation, he has the widest knowledge of any European on the subcontinent and somehow manages to open doors that others can't He is one of those rare writers who has the ability to make the most factual of books fascinating.
