Six programmes using documentary evidence to throw new light on past events.
The Lord, the Sword and the Guru. Having successfully annexed the Punjab to the British Empire in 1849, Lord Dalhousie, the Governor-General of India, had a large collection of Sikh arms and relics shipped back to Britain. What happened to these precious items? Were they legally acquired? Mark Tully traces an allegory of Anglo-Indian relations from London, via Scotland, to Delhi.
Producers Nigel Acheson and Rani Singh
