I loved Alice Albinia's 'Empires of the Indus,' which came out a couple of
years ago, both here and in the UK. Albinia treks up the Indus from mouth to
source, exploring geography, history and community over each region she
covers. She's a superb writer and the book deserved, I think, more
Thanks everyone! I am leaving India tonight with a full suitcase.
In return for all the kindness, I have a return recommendation:
Red Plenty is a superbly footnoted semi fictional/historical
recounting of the heady days of post-Stalin Khrushchev-spring and the
seeming relentless advance of 10%
Empires of the Indus: That was an amazing book and Alice Albinia is quite
good about responding to queries as well.

Speaking of ACK, I also ordered Nandini Chandra's The Classic Popular
Amar Chitra Kathas (1967 To Now) from flipkart.
Should be worth a read, if only for the brushwork in there.
I was quite a fan of ram waeerkar, and of jeffrey fowler, who illustrated
