Dear Community,

Storytrails, Thursday February 4, 3:45-4:45 pm

We always hear about the British taking away so many things from Colonial India. But there were many Englishmen who loved India, and badly wanted to study its ancient past. And some of their discoveries here have actually allowed us to know more about this country. Have you heard about the Englishman who accidentally discovered the oldest known collection of Buddhist art? Or of the Englishman who helped Indians decode the ancient Brahmi script? Join us as we explore stories of archaeological finds that solved some of India’s ancient mysteries.
