Dalrymple has done a lot of good for public knowledge of South Asian history — He has published a ton, drawn attention to Indo-Muslim cultures, and all in an accessible writing style.

"emission of odourless air from a bum is no fart.... That is, it is a fart-act that does not yield a fart-thing. A fart-thing must proceed from a fart-act. But a fart-act does not necessarily produce a fart-thing."
