Very innacurate presentation, showing a definite european bias the old aryan invasion theory that has been dissproved finally keeps popping out. Also indian civilization is much older than this show said.
Yes Indeed it is a very inaccurate presentation. Why this documentary provides such false facts and misleading the viewers ? It only shows the western efforts to distort Indian history.
Im am not only optimistic, but many reports are saying India will become a world power in few decades. Culture is a big thing in life, I am not saying that India will become a perfect country in terms of the things you listed (Varsha) but in terms of infrastructure it will become very developed. How old is the American culture, couple 100 years? The whole point here is that we should have faith in such a great country like India who has given birth to great kings, saints and freedom fighters!
Well, yes you have some correct points. But there are many different perspectives from different groups. Some say that the Indians have the oldest civilization and history in the world and some dont. Lot of the world's most beautiful art and music has roots in India. And about "basic problems"... Every country has its basic and big problems, for ex. India-> you could say corruption and pollution. USA-> you could say crime or racism
Being optimistic is not bad...being realistic is better but being pessimistic is no solution. what i see is that some people are just listing -ve about India. And also I don't agree to all -ve they have written. Esp about Indian culture being backward. I agree culture is about art, music, philosophy and scientific discovery and public manners etc, but I see India rich in it. South Asian culture is and its art music is different the europen or american, and is not comparable.
