Many of you have been an integral part of conversations and ideas that’s have gone into the making of my first book Moorings: Voyages of Capital across the Indian Ocean. Thank you ! The book is now available open access and in hard copy (code UCPSAVE30).

Was pleasantly surprised to find Guru Dutt's passport in the British Museum, at the pinnacle of the South Asia collection in the post-independence section. Issued in 1950, he would have been no more than 25 here, with bright eyes gazing ahead to an incredible decade…laajawab ho!

Fascinating article on Hobbes' involvement in the Bermuda company, and how that influenced his political thought.

@_John_Handel in his defense, i think it’s a debate where the historiographical stakes seem big and clear, so not a bad way to introduce historical arguments and writing! But yeah maybe a lot for first-years lol

@_John_Handel lol that totally sounds like something Rishad would do! And yeah this book intervenes in that debate in a really compelling way with a lot of new evidence. Def recommend!

@carolradq Truly, such great suggestions! I come back to it often.

[Osama Siddiqui @orsidd]

Does anyone have recommendations for novels that could work well in a seminar on global history? (Sea of Poppies is a possibility, but I feel it’s a bit too long)

[Osama Siddiqui @orsidd]
