Arjun Ullas, a Cambridge science teacher based in Hanoi, Vietnam, has been on a mission to create a World History Chart.
After 13 months of research, designing and fact-checking, he launched the chart in January 2022. As soon as Arjun shared screenshots of it on social media, enquiries from potential buyers poured in from around the world. The intention, Arjun clarifies, was not to make money, but represent the histories of India and other often-overlooked parts of the world.
It all began when he saw a copy of a world history timeline by Oxford that came out in 2011. “I felt only Europe was truly represented in it. It had little from the rest of the world,” he says.
