@subroto81 - Europeans biased? C'mon...Europeans can't be biased. They invented everything. Did everything. They invented the sun and the moon, sunset and sundown. Just look at all their movies. They can fly, stop bullets. They're simply incredible!!!!!

[vasu81in]

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.

[amadthing]

what is the music set to it?

[subroto81]

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.
