The Story of India

Recently I got the privilege to watch the documentary about “The story of India” broadcasted by BBC for the second time. It is a unique journey, a mammoth task collating the 10,000 years history of the great nation in two DVD’s. The feature is a heavy gush of ideas, colors, cinematography covering the nooks of the Indian geography and the people of this mesmerizing mystic country. It is broadcasted in a series of five episodes closely packed and blended with diligent editing, incredible stories and vivid description. It covers a broad range of topics pulsating from the drifting of Indian sub-continent from Africa, rise and fall of civilizations, emperors, religions and languages to modern India. Furthermore, my admiration plucked on the British legendary historian and writer Michael Wood for his remarkable and enduring presentation.

The Story of India, a topic which has immense depth of humanity and traces through the civilizations like IVC (Indus Valley Civilizations), Harappa, Hindukush and gigantic dynasties, emperors like Chandra Gupta Maurya, Kanishka, Asoka, Akbar…etc. and emperor turned humanitarian and teacher, Gautama Buddha. Silk route, connecting India with the central Asia which opened new doors for trade, transport and cultural transformations. The tour gave a picture about the reality of Great War of Mahabharata by digging the remains from the supposed battle field, the great engineering works during the ancient periods which is yet to be deciphered, magnificent monuments, festivals and great sanctuaries. Excellence and brilliance of Sanskrit, the ancient Indian religious language was clearly explained and its connection with other ancient languages like Greek and Latin. The long train journeys gave composition and mixed feelings about the normal class people of India.

I strongly suggest who are in search of deep connections about this historic land should have a glance on this video series. India, known for its religious significances, a land with great leaders and masters has astronomical surprises. As we dwell deep, more astonishing surprises are revealed and we are thrown into a well of mysteries. Every Indian should see the series and be aware about their great history and share the knowledge through medium of peace, righteousness and simplicity.

Michael Wood and his crew clearly deserves a high applaud for this embarking endeavor capturing and deciphering the sacred, ancient history of India. His voice is magical, simple and entertaining.
