If you like the idea of watching a really good National Geographic article brought to life, with the lush photography, fascinating facts, sense of discovery and slight superficiality that implies, you ll love THE STORY OF INDIA. --Mike Hale, The New York Times

Overall, a good and sincere effort (the early botch-up notwithstanding)

Reviews

Pros This is definitely a sincere effort at telling a very friendly version of the Indian Story.
Cons The part about Indian Pre-history, especially wrt The "Indus" Civilization is woefully misinformed and self-admittedly controversial.
