Costumes of all the ages have been captured very efficiently and some of the episodes are my favorite like one on civil disobedience in 1930, quit India in 1942, Shivaji one ( It is the only televised account of Shivaji in which his conflicts with local Hindu chieftains are shown). Title song are a simple version of verses of Rigveda and anyone who keeps on branding Veda communal will have an idea of deep philosophy inherent in them by listening to these samples. It has a characteristic Shyam benegal style of concentrating on mental conflicts rather than showing war details or opulence of courts. This series has been telecast-ed many times on Doordarshan and is a must for any student of Indain History.
