Renaissance London, Mughal India, and the Origins of Empire
Book • 2023
In 'Courting India', Nandini Das provides a detailed and nuanced account of the early interactions between Britain and India, particularly through the experiences of Thomas Roe, the first English ambassador to the Mughal court.
The book explores the cultural, political, and economic dynamics of this period, including palace intrigue, trade negotiations, and the complexities of cross-cultural encounters.
Das draws heavily from Roe's journal and other historical sources to offer a richly textured narrative that challenges traditional interpretations of the British Empire's emergence.
