Both this podcast and the book on the same topic by Professor Khilnani are absolutely brilliant. I find myself going back to them year after year. Well researched and exquisitely presented, the podcast and the book overflow with novel insights. What a marvelous approach to Indian history!

An eye for detail and delivering all that’s needed in a very concise manner. The characters and details presented are well thought through. And exceptional presentation

Just loved it, Millennials would love it as it describes India(s) from the time of Buddha to Ambani. The personalities chosen and the historical nuggets about them are chosen carefully and give us the right insight than a normal historical book. Do log in.

Didn’t do justice to story of Ramanujan. Spiritual aspects of his life are selectively filtered.

Re listening to these podcasts again - the podcasts are an engaging and simplistic insight into the complex characters of Indian history

I love this podcast. I’m making my way through them. However I want to notify the makers that the episode on Ambedkar is only showing a runtime of 8min for me, and cuts off at the middle of a sentence.

India’s history through the lives of 50 personalities is interesting and informative. The episode about Dr Ambedkar is stopped abruptly. Any technical issues?

Background sound for some of these podcasts is way too loud and makes it challenging to hear the commentary

Authentic, eye-opening, diverse, and nostalgic - very highly recommended listening to learn about historic and contemporary Indian personalities, with just the right kind and length of pieces

Very enjoyable introduction to Indian history

I have enjoyed listening to this podcast as it has introduced me to Indian history and culture, a topic I know very little about. Each episode focuses on one person’s life, roughly moving from ancient history to modern history.

Eagerly waiting for more episodes of this podcast.

The series is well produced, Prof Khilnani has an engaging voice and the content is superb. Even for someone who is well versed with Indian history, this series offers a lot of insight and commentary that is not easily accessible or taught by school grade textbooks.

Lovely podcast! I thoroughly enjoy the pace and the backdrop of the narrative.

Sunil Khilnani narrates the lives of people who had strong faith in themselves to change the world around them promoting liberal ideas who went unrecognised to a large extent in the present generation of intellectual Indians. The ideas of these great people can be implemented widely even today.
