A fascinating exploration of travel in C17th India: merchant-cum-gentleman Thomas Roe is whisked away as ambassador to Mughal India where he plays the dangerous (and often disappointing) game of navigating court intrigue and the politics of the East India Company. Das’ tale of the English experience in India captures the volatile and uncertain relationship between the great centralised Mughal empire and a small island that had just escaped decades of political turmoil.
