City of Djinns

Just finished reading "City of Djinns" by William Dalrymple. A truly remarkable book by a foreigner on India.. The book makes history come alive through the words of men who were participants and witnesses to events long gone by. The attention to detail and the painstaking research is amazing. Makes one wonder why there are not more Indian historians or authors writing such books. This book should be compulsory reading for students studying history in high school.
