Discover India's rich history while simultaneously learning why the country is poised to become one of the world's next superpowers in this documentary hosted by Michael Wood. A country known as well for its proficiency in computer technology as its many gods, India is the world's oldest civilization. India has experienced many golden ages over the course of human history, and its leaders have strived to encourage great change on a global scale.

A six-part series produced for PBS, The Story of India tells the story of an ancient land perfectly equipped to succeed in the modern world. Jason Buchanan, Rovi
