He was born in 1914 in Essex. His father, who had served in the Indian Army, had told him a lot of stories about India that sparked an interest in him about the country. After obtaining a degree in Sanskrit from SOAS, Basham did a doctorate there and later became a professor at the college. In 1965, he left SOAS to join the Australia National University, where he became the Head of the History Department and also Professor of Oriental Civilizations.vizualizați mai puține
