East India Company became so powerful because British Parliament colluded with it: William Dalrymple

#Uninterrupted


Noted storyteller and people's historian Willian Dalrymple talks to ThePrint's Jyoti Malhotra about his newest book, 'The Anarchy,' and how Shah Alam II, grandson of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, watched his authority diminish everyday as the East India Company grew stronger and more powerful. He not only never gave in, adds Dalrymple but remained charming and cultured and the exact opposite of the ruthless and cold-blooded general Robert Clive, who gave himself the title, 'Clive of India.'
