To be fascist or not to be fascist?

Historian Criticizes Agra Demolition: 'Neglect your main heritage centres, allow developers to raze all its heritage properties, and then be surprised when this great country has less tourists than Dubai or Singapore', historian William Dalrymple wrote.

Think that’s long? I’m narrating 5,000 years of history for 1/4 of the world’s population, with like 50 images and 25 maps. It’s damn succinct.
