From Ramayana, Mahabharata, Indus valley civilization and the Buddha to Kalidas, Maurya, Ashoka, Shivaji, Akbar and Mahatma Phule, Bharat Ek Khoj's searching eye conspires to piece together the spiritual puzzle that is India. The idea, one can gather, was to explore the 'Indian thought' and explain to the audience how our civilisation started, how it flourished, what was trade and commerce like in the ancient past, the conquests and bloodshed as well as our centuries-old heritage, social reforms, religion and lores of the land. Through 53 episodes, each lasting over 40 minutes, the show spans 5,000 years of Indian history.

First broadcast in 1988, this Doordarshan classic was Indian satellite TV viewers' first introduction to Nehru's scholarly gifts. But it might be more accurate to say that the voice behind Seth's voice is that of Jawaharlal Nehru's, the putative author of The Discovery of India on which Benegal based his kaleidoscopic TV tome. Thrust from below and forward move above."It was difficult to get a grip on India's soul though I could feel it intuitively." The voice is thespian Roshan Seth's and the show is Shyam Benegal's Bharat Ek Khoj. The Seers, searching in their hearts with wisdom,ĭiscovered the connection of Being in Nonbeing.
Stirring, through power of Ardor, came to be. That which was hidden by Void, that One, emerging, However, still sharing these lines though they not in recording shared on this blog.
