He brings the complex and contrasting layers of Indian history to life through a well-known cast of characters – Buddha, Alexander the Great, Akbar, Clive, Tipu Sultan, Lakshmi Bai, Curzon, Jinnah and Mahatma Gandhi – against a backdrop of the mystical Ganges, the desert forts of Rajasthan, the snow-covered Himalayas and the ruins of India’s fabled civilisations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom Buddhism to Bollywood, India has made its mark on Asia and the world.
