William Dalrymple with Fergal Keane: Rapacity and Excess in Imperial India
In the hands of William Dalrymple, history becomes a rip-roaring, rollicking adventure; the reader embarking on a visceral odyssey into the subject thanks to Dalrymple’s glorious gift for storytelling and his eye for detail. In The Anarchy, the Delhi-based writer has turned his hand to a study of corporate greed in Imperial India, with the rise to prominence of the East India Company. This, according to Dalrymple, was aggressive colonial power in the guise of a multinational business. Within the space of four decades the East India Company had assembled a security force of more than 200,000 people – twice the size of the British army – and had subdued an entire continent.
In this event the celebrated Scottish writer talks to BBC special correspondent Fergal Keane about India’s turbulent history under imperial rule. Part of the 2020 Edinburgh International Book Festival Online.

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) Enters 2016 Presidential Race (almost) - YouTube
Imagine if Elizabeth Warren was running for president right now...
Who would be most effected by that?
How would Hillary do against Elizabeth Warren?
Shouldn't the aim of political parties be to put the 'best' candidates forward no matter what, and not to appease the establishment, staying to the status quo..money rules the Democratic party as much as it does the Republicans, establishment wants things to stay the same...
But the people want change....
But alas, Elizabeth Warren is not running and I fully believe that the DNC has a lot to do about that....Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Democratic National Committee knew that Clinton did not stand a chance against Warren, and then put Sanders in the equation and the Democrat Establishment would have disintegrated in much the same manner as the Republicans are doing with Cruz and Trump.
Not easy bringing change when you come up against a mountain of money and the 1%.
IN SERVICE OF JOHN COMPANY: LIFE IN THE ENGLISH EAST INDIA COMPANY IN ASIA (c1800s)
By 1800, the English East India Company (EIC) was already a formidable presence in India, with
factories stretching throughout Southeast Asia. Trade routes were relatively well known, and so
too, the profits that some private trade could yield. What then, was it like to work for the EIC?
What could one expect on a voyage out to Asia? How did factory life operate and why were some
postings more desired than others? How were factory gossip and reports on the lives of EIC
servants important in shaping careers and fortunes?
By asking such questions and examining sources from the EIC, including artefacts from the
National Museum of Singapore’s An Old New World Bicentennial exhibition, Dr Donna Brunero
explores a deeper understanding of the EIC and the lure (and sometimes trials and tribulations)
of a career in Asia.

The programme centres around Coronation Street: a cobbled, terraced street in Weatherfield a fictional Northern English town.

THE BORING PART! [litw 2]
As with most trilogies, the middle episode is rather dull and rambling, but serves as a bridge for those who want a more complete story. Again, this is uncut and raw.
