Summary/Abstract: How the ideas, religious beliefs and scientific discoveries have spread, were imported or transferred along newly established commercial trade routes to territories further away from India in the east and the west of the world from the third century to the twelfth century CE and how those evolved into forms that surpassed the original models is what William Dalrymple displays with unparalleled raconteur skills in his most recent book, The Golden Road.
