Lubaaba Al-Azami: England & The Mughals

Before the East India Company and the British Empire, England was a pariah state. Seeking better fortunes, merchants, pilgrims and outcasts became the first English visitors to India in the 16th century. Travellers in the Golden Realm: How Mughal India Connected England to the World is the story of these world-changing meetings with the Mughals and their women leaders. Cultural historian Dr Lubaaba Al-Azami comes to Henley with this spellbinding account of two cultures inextricably linked to this day.

Dr Lubaaba will be in conversation with Sunny Singh.
