Today, I spoke about #india #SecondWorldWar #emotionalhistory at City & Islington sixth form college. The students were wonderful! I'm still thinking about their questions. My resolution: keep talking about my work to young people. @cityhistory.bsky.social @hurstpublishers.bsky.social

I am so pleased to be interviewed in this documentary where journalist Mobeen Khan traces the journey of his grandfather Nawab Din's experiences in the Indian Army in #WW2. Do watch!

I recently received the news that my book 'India in the Second World War: An Emotional History' has been shortlisted for the Royal Historical Society's 2024 Gladstone Prize! My father would be very happy. There would be no research, and no book, without him. @hurstpublishers.bsky.social
