hello, everyone, and welcome back to conversations with Tyler.
Today I'm chatting with Fareed Zakaria, who truly needs no introduction.
But I would like to point out as of March 26, he has a new and wonderful book out, age of progress and backlash from 1600 to the present.
Farid.
Welcome, Farid.
It's a huge pleasure to be here.
I'm a little intimidated, I must confess, because I've listened to you.
I'm a fan of the podcast.
You range very widely, and I'm worried you're going to ask me questions about something I wrote about 15 years ago that I don't remember.
You will remember it, but I want to start by trying to figure out you.
So what did you learn from Kuzwan Singh, and when was that?
So this is the dedication of my book, where I decided this current book, I decided I was going to kind of try to remember all the people who helped me along the way in my life.
And it starts with Hoshwan Singh, who is probably, if you had asked somebody in India ten years ago, they would have told you he's the most famous journalist in India.
I got to know him when I was ten years old.
He was my mom's boss.
My mother worked at a magazine called the Illustrated Weekly of India, and he was an extraordinary character.
He was a novelist who had also been a diplomat, and, and then he had become editor of this magazine.
And he was a kind of intellectual who, I don't know.
