 Lots of talk with overuse of Comp Grapichs December 29, 2008
Suresh Chanmugam (Ontario Canada)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The DVD's focus is on the northern half of Indian civilization and only mentions (5 seconds on a map) of the southern Indian civilization (Dravidian). At least it does cover Mohenjo-Daro the predecessor to the Indus Valley Civilization. Computer Graphics (CG) is well used with Mohenjo-Daro as the structures are mostly in ruins. However the CG is way over used with structures that are well intact such as the Taj-mahal, Making the documentary more of an illusion with lots of hurried talk. A far better DVD for the price is BBC - around the world in 80 days which spends a whole episode on India - Sri Lanka with actual footage.

This video was a wonderful addition to my curriculum. It provide solid factual information with rich, detailed photography, computer-generated imagery and stunning graphical displays. It provided my students a much richer insight into "Old India" so that they could appreciate the culture in a more modern world.
What a great learning! February 18, 2007

This DVD tells you many things about Indias history. Without revieling the contents I would say it is worth the money. I give it 4 out of 5 because i wish it had longer chapters as I found my self wanting more. Probably the best documentary about Indian history that I have seen and great 3D re-creations.
Good overview of Indian history December 4, 2006

This 50-minute documentary is a good overview of the history of India through the 17th century, with special attention to archaeology and architecture. Topics include the Indus Valley civilization, the Aryans, the Vedic period, karma and reincarnation, the caste system, the Mauryan Empire, Ashoka and the rise of Buddhism, the Gupta Dynasty and the resurgence of Hinduism, the Rajput Empire, the rise of Islam, the Mughal Empire, and the Taj Mahal.
If you're considering using this video in the classroom or watching it with children, note that one of the architectural treasures from the Rajput Empire is a temple covered with explicitly sexual sculptures.
Also recommended: "The Soul of India," a 90-minute guided tour of India.
Good Review for AP World History November 5, 2006

The film covers Indian history from the Indus Valley civilization (Harappa) through the Mughals. It hits all the major points needed for a good review of Indian history prior to the AP World History exam. It is also good for discussions on change-over-time in India. The film can also be shown in segments to reinforce instruction as you go along.
