The third edition of our flagship 'The Lecture' series, - which aims to bring writers and thinkers from around the world to Indian audiences - will be based on the first book in the Indian Lives series edited and curated by Ramachandra Guha. 

The book 'Ashoka: Portrait of a Philosopher King' by Patrick Olivelle constructs a fascinating portrait of India’s first great ruler, where the figure of Ashoka comes vividly alive.
