Travel across a diverse subcontinent, from Mauryan statecraft through Delhi and Mughal rule, Maratha power, Company colonialism, the anti-colonial struggle, Partition and nation-building. The films represent specific linguistic, religious and political traditions rather than one uniform national past. Mythic, nationalist and fictional material is noted explicitly.
