Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Chaitanya Raghav 1) I smell the British colonialism in the Series on India 2) What happened to Adi Shankaracharya? what on earth BBC is doing? Adi Shankaracharya is as important as Buddha, you understand that? 3) Where is Sri Krishnadevaraya? 4) Soma, the tree, may be produced in India, who knows exactly the climatic conditions in India 4000 years ago? 5) Where is Konark temple? what about the temple at Utharakand built by AdiShankaracharya? 6) You have not mentioned the greatness of Sanskrit 7) In ancient days, Vedic hymes are chanted by three varnas, not only Brahmans. 8) Sudra was the classification given based on nature of a person, but not by birth 9) Buddha eating pork? You gotta kidding me10) Meat was never part of diet of Indians, not for first three Varnas, only Sudras are regular consumers of meat 11) As per Indian texts caste is brought in to divide the work 12) untouchability was never part of Ancient Indian history, I believe you English started concept of untouchability, Please read Bhagawad Geeta for proof 13) You have not mentioned Indian schools of Philosophy, ASthika and nasthika 14) Ancient Engineering marvels of India, no show on it 15) There is no way you could kill a animal or bird, or anything that moves on earth during Yagas. In Ashwamedha yaga, you will not Kill Horse. (Deep understanding of Vedas, Homas, Yagnas will give insight of Sacrifice but there is no killing I tell you) 16) Where is the reference of Andhra Pradesh?! 17) Speed of light is mentioned in Rig veda, you have not mentioned it 18) There are several interpretations of the word Hiranya Gharbha 19) You also neglected to mention Vimanika Shastra Very important, Ancient Indian education can shape human in perfect manner.

Navjit Dhillon It takes immaculate skill to make a documentary about the Indian civilization without even once mentioning some of the greatest names that ever walked on this part of the world. Steering the story of India completely clear of the likes of Guru Gobind Singh, Maharana Pratap, Shivaji Marhatta, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Tipu Sultan, Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose, as if they never existed on the face of earth, takes a lot of creativity and improvisation. My compliments to Michael wood and his team for their profoundly negligent research and erudite incompetence that distorts and twists the story of India like never before. In no other version of India's story will you find the East India company, Aurangzeb and Jahangir as contenders for the most benevolent regime that Indians witnessed.

ekta-srivastav I started to watch this series with a fair degree of scepticism, being of Indian origin, but was hooked within the first 15 mins. The credit almost entirely goes to Michael Wood and the unending passion with which he has presented this masterpiece. It is a daunting task to be asked to cover India's vast and varied history in 6 short hours but Wood tells an intriguing and masterful tale, carefully taking into consideration all of the historical aspects and view points. I was delighted that as an Indian, there was a lot I got to learn and was pleasantly surprised at Wood's tenacity towards fact finding. Also, the history is told not so much in a chronological factual manner, but in Wood's fascinating and poetic story telling style, making it an extremely interesting and entertaining 6 parts to watch.If I had to be picky, the only criticism I would have to offer would be on the lack of attention to the splendid Mughal era. Wood does touch upon it , but only when it is dying. The great Mughal emperors like Jahangir, Akbar and Shah Jahan have played a huge role in shaping Indian history and have given to India such splendid monuments such as the Taj Mahal. But then again, it is a vast country with an over-abundance of history and tales. A must watch in my book !

Mangesh Soni Dear Readers,I started with the first episode with a little doubt in mind that " how it would be to see my own home through the eyes of others" but no doubt it was excellent.Michael Woods style of presenting and his vast experience in filming would never distract you throughout the episode, he would travel across the nations to reveal about a subject and research it vastly.Besides that all the participants behind the scenes were equally complimenting each other in their respective areas. The background score changes with the demand of scene which really is commendable.Being an Indian, I myself enjoyed the series and a very good experience to know more about my own home. A Must watch.... from me.
