When the British broke up the Indian Empire, they didn’t just divide land; they divided families, languages, and histories. Sam Dalrymple joins us to discuss his debut book, Shattered Lands, and how the borders of British India once stretched from the Himalayas to the Arabian Gulf. Its sudden breakup still echoes through today’s conflicts, refugee crises, and shared cultures across Asia. Together, we trace how history’s borders left behind living fault lines and how South Asia and the Gulf have more that unites them than we often realise.
Listen to our season finale to uncover how the world we live in was drawn and redrawn by the British Empire.
