Having found his way from law to literature, he turned to writing as a medium for blending historical truth, worldly perspectives and moral calling in his new title.
His autobiography is an extensive look into his long life, following the many changes in places where he lived and the transformations of society and countries around him.
Uncovering trails left by a statue, a shipping receipt, a letter or a Buddhist monk’s journal, he connected the dots in luminous prose to create a spectacular tapestry of ancient India’s gifts to the world.
