Just started the Rebel Sultans. Wow! Apart from the beautiful prose, this book unpacks and clarifies that whole murky era between the Delhi Sultanate and the rise of the Maratha polity. And Dalrymple of course is essential - the Last Mughal. Amazing stuff all around. From an American collector of Indian princely postal history, who has never been to India, thank you much for a revealing discussion.

Both William and Manu are one of my favorite authors! Always amazing to hear from them.
