I honestly always thought it was referencing a sex-drought because it came out during the second sexual revolution.

Indian manpower captured India for Britain. The number of British soldiers who served in India was always small compared to the native contingent.

Teri comes from Terra, means Earth, or the world

Yaki comes from γιατί means "why". So "why in a world you like this if there are roasted goat with herbs and garlic!" There you go!!

He also has a very good book on the same:
The Anarchy tells one of history’s most remarkable stories: how the Mughal Empire―which dominated world trade and manufacturing and possessed almost unlimited resources―fell apart and was replaced by a multinational corporation based thousands of miles overseas, and answerable to shareholders, most of whom had never even seen India and no idea about the country whose wealth was providing their dividends. Using previously untapped sources, Dalrymple tells the story of the East India Company as it has never been told before and provides a portrait of the devastating results from the abuse of corporate power.

Well I can't pass that one up I'll would like to see what you can do with this word. "teriyaki"

There’s a very cool board game that just came out called John Company 2nd edition that allows you to play as one of the families (Hastings, Larkins, etc) while running the company together and competing for the most power and wealth for your family to win the game. You can either follow what historically happened or veer off and recreate history based on how you choose to run the company and which laws parliament passes. Super fun and interesting negotiation game.

To add to this, we have tens of thousands of letters from the houses of Assyrian and Babylonian merchants from Ea-Nasir’s era, some of them predating him by a century or two. Quite a few letters include complaints about shabby treatment (e.g. that a correspondent writes terribly short and unsatisfactory letters) or reference shady business activities like smuggling goods past customs checkpoints — a practice that got some unlucky merchants sent to jail.

While Ea-Nasir’s letters are an early example of “customer service” complaints, his business activities and tablet storage were by no means unusual.

What's fascinating is that it was one of the first mega corporation and till now the most powerful one to exist as well. At its peak it had one of the largest armies under its command and ruled vast stretches of land.

I find ‘collapse’ of societies fascinating.

As a Brit, I’m particularly interested in the collapse of Roman Britain. Does anyone have any recommendations for books on this subject?

I’d really be interested to read about the effects of the Roman ‘withdrawal’ (if you can call it that) on ordinary life. What happened to the Roman towns? What did society look like in the years after the fall of Rome?

Any recommendations would be really appreciated!

Likewise, any podcast recommendations!

I thought it was a joke about the orange eyes. soz

Britain’s history in India is very interesting and complex to say the least. I was always fascinated at how the subcontinent was utilized and ruled by the British. Without Indian manpower much of the Empire’s expansion in Asia probably wouldn’t have happened. To this day I’m still amazed that the British amassed an army of Indians to fight for the EIC and Empire. Truly, truly fascinating. It all started with the EIC.
