These are the big questions behind this intrepid journey around the contemporary subcontinent. In this landmark series, historian and acclaimed writer Michael Wood embarks on a dazzling and exciting expedition through today’s India, looking to the present for clues to her past, and to the past for clues to her future.
The journey takes the viewer through majestic landscapes and reveals some of the greatest monuments and artistic treasures on Earth. From Buddhism to Bollywood, from mathematics to outsourcing, Michael Wood discovers India’s impact on history – and on us.
Loved it ..a complete revision of history … but as they say in the end …it’s just a beginning they didn’t even start with real stuff before documentary ended . Something I disagree with though that establishment of mahabharat as real story gave a feeling to indians that there is a real history before colonial powers acme into …not true at all there is very real history apart from mahabharat … Buddhism ..nalanda univ before that ..mauryas ..list goes on
very very very well done documentary! excelente! 10/10! no doubt!
