On Monday 14th June 2021, Jassa was back in conversation with acclaimed historian William Dalrymple to discuss the release of The Company Quartet boxset.
Another fantastic @UKPHA talk. Never tire listening to @DalrympleWill speaking about Indian History. Quick lesson on all bks. Knowledge, energy & enthusiasm is infectious–now distracted by real need to revisit bks. Need Company Quartet to arrive. @OfficialJassa you were fabulous! pic.twitter.com/xPvIYLKbXl

The highly attended virtual event, organised by the UK Punjab Heritage Association (UKPHA), explored Dalrymple’s recently released boxset of four bestsellers - The Anarchy, White Mughals, Return of A King and The Last Mughal - charting the fall of the Mughal Empire and the rise of the East India Company.
Another wondrous @UKPHA discussion yesterday, this time w/ @DalrympleWill on what's now officially his 4-volume epic series of books. Interviewed by @OfficialJassa. Fantastic stuff. Heroes, both of these guys.
