I talk with Matthew D. Milligan, a visiting professor at Trinity University in Texas and an expert in the social and economic history of South Asia. We talk about why Indian history is under-studied, how to separate myth from historical truth, and how ancient Buddhist ascetics were frequently members of the financial elite.
