Superb piece by Mihir Bose on his life and fine career, as an Indian in Britain:
“I know I have a positive story to tell but still I feel Britain is a work in progress…To become a truly diverse society, this country must come to terms with its less than glorious imperial past.”
'In his fascinating recent book #TheDeathOfConsensus , the historian Phil Tinline suggests that what really counts is what the public doesn’t want and doesn’t approve of.'

Starting a lovely Sunday spring morning with the FT Weekend & “The Crisis of Culture” (@HurstPublishers) by Olivier Roy. It received a glowing Financial Times review a month ago, which ensured its place on my to-be-read queue.
