This talk by Sanjay Subrahmanyam looks at how English accounts of the conquest of India by the East India Company made use of, and subsumed, materials in other languages, mainly Persian. It argues that this process of absorption and reutilization was often subtle, and involved shifts in tone and texture as much as content.
Sanjay Subrahmanyam is Distinguished Professor and Doshi Chair of Indian History at UCLA. He has taught earlier at Delhi, Paris and Oxford.
