1200 BC: A New Beginning
After the collapse of the Indus Valley, it took over millennia for India to see urbanization to reach the same scale again. This period of historical darkness ended up defining the next 3000 years of Indian history, and you can see the effect in the sub-continent even today.
In this episode, we try to peer through the darkness using one of the world's great cultural achievements- The Vedas. -
The Indus Valley and the Rorschach Test
Almost two thousand years before the first Hindus walked in the sub-continent, ancient ruins tell us about a civilisation, that in its organisation and efficiency, seems to be like the Germany of the ancient world. Who were these people? Where did they go? And how did we get from there to here?
This episode covers the earliest millennia of the Indian history. Transcripts and sources will be updated soon.
