The Broken Script is also from Watching the Wheels podcast. The late Mughal/early-British period this book covers has always intrigued me—while one great empire was losing control, the other was steadily gaining. I believe this book explores it through the lens of language, where the official language of the Mughals, Persian, was no longer relevant, and the scholars and bureaucrats well-versed in the language had to switch to English or be marginalized.
