“It’s been enlightening to familiarize with history again after drudging through oh my god boring in school. And love the creators effort to be neutral and sympathetic unlike earlier historians. The direct from source is such an amazing device to learn about the priorities of people in those days.
My main grouse is the rigid view of religion in India that the narrator has. Religion in India has always been much more fluid, alive and dominated by personalities and the structure is wholly different than the church dominated hierarchy of the west. This loses a lot of nuances of religio-political aspect of history which is a significant aspect of India’s story.”
