The Story of India

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.

This was best work on Indian history i ever witnessed. Commerce, culture, politics, religion, literature, food, art- an astonishing and beautiful cinema. Thankyou for this special series defining Indian history as it should be. Loved it.

It is great to see the history of a people of the world being developed as a life experience of revisiting the places and taking in glimpses of the present and the past. History is not an abstract science; it is about what people did. Sharing what we have learned in a humble and open way, Michael Wood has shown how learning history can be a great experience.

Michael Wood has kept the people perspective throughout rather than stating the facts in a dry manner like most historians do.

Having lived most of my early years in various parts of India, I can appreciate how Michael has captures the essence of the cultural side so well. Great experience.

I wish I could learn about others parts of the world in this style.

a) Amazing never seen visuals.

b) Powerful all engaging presentation.

c) A honest interest in the subject of India.

d) On location shooting of the narrative subject matter.

e) Great background score.

f) Balanced and well researched topics, which have lessons for world as a whole.

I can go on listing points of greatness of this great work. Wish Michael Wood was my history teacher! I would have definitely majored in History.

If you really want to experience 'time travel' don't watch science fiction movies... just watch this series, you will be amazed. Take my word for it.

An excellent resource for all those who wish to study the history of India.Well researched and directed.A treat for history lovers...
