Hats of to Michael Wood for his extensive research and such a wonderful representation. Your enthusiasm mesmerizes me while watching the series. Also we have watched it with a view of foreigners. it is full of information. It has all the thing needed to be a great documentary be it direction, representation, music, sites etc. Really I felt enormous pleasure watching all the episodes. :)It describes the beauty of culture and a great history of the India. I would like to admit that, even after being an Indian I did not know some minute things which I have come to know after watching the documentary. So a great thanks to BBC for presenting such a great series in India. I am looking forward to upcoming series. please bring more such series on India.

The Story shows real history of India. Not from the books taught in the school all over the country. The voice and face expression of Micheal Wood is fantastic and heart touching. Its the Real History of India. Specially the Part of Buddhism and Chandragupta Mourya is very informative. The culture followed since so many years. The belief of people. Why do they believe in reincarnation. "Ages of Gold" - mind blowing "Freedom and Liberation" - its focuses on stories unheard by the Indians till date. Go buy a DVD right now. Its a must collection item. I have enjoyed every scene of this documentary and strongly recommend it.

I have become the fan of Mr Woods after watching the series of The Story of India. I guess even an Indian presenter wouldn't have presented the way Mr. Woods have presented it. He has imbibed in himself the factor of Indianness which is very much required to explain something about India in this much detail. I should be right if I say most of us(Indians) ourselves wont be knowing about India as much the show is informative about. The show is almost comprehensive about not only about Indian history but whole of Indian subcontinent. It rightly starts from the Indus valley through the vedic age etc along with mind-blowing visuals and silver-mouthed Wood's narration and it get better episode by episode. The documentary doesn't hesitate comparing India with other ancient civilizations while revealing the greatness of rich past and advanced society at the very ancient age.It is very informant for those ignorant about their own past and have turned a blind eye towards their own culture which is very rich, diverse, full of life and colors. So it is a must watch for those who want to know more about India and to those Indians who are ignorant about their own past. Watch it completely to feel proud about your country. Jai Hind!!!

Dear Readers,I started with the first episode with a little doubt in mind that " how it would be to see my own home through the eyes of others" but no doubt it was excellent.Michael Woods style of presenting and his vast experience in filming would never distract you throughout the episode, he would travel across the nations to reveal about a subject and research it vastly.Besides that all the participants behind the scenes were equally complimenting each other in their respective areas. The background score changes with the demand of scene which really is commendable.Being an Indian, I myself enjoyed the series and a very good experience to know more about my own home. A Must watch.... from me.
