Description:
Ancient India is with us today in the living tradition of the Hindu religion, the bass of Indian Culture. The traditions that are honored by millions of Hindus in the present were born in the Indus Valley 5,000 years ago. "History is full of empires of the sword, but India alone created an empire of the spirit," notes host Michael Wood as he opens this program. India has kept true to its ancient tradition of non-violence and spiritual search, even as it became part of the modern world.
