India -- pt. 1: Creating Civilization in South Asia

from Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong · host Samuel Biagetti, PhD

We discuss the complex geography of the Indian Subcontinent, and how early societies in India, beginning with the mysterious Indus Valley Civilization, developed cities, technology, art, and literature, giving rise eventually to the flourishing Maurya and Gupta empires and the inventions of the Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu religions.
