May 12, 2018
Kauai, Hawaii, USA, May 11, 2018 -- Hinduism Today is
delighted to announce the completion of its five part video
documentary series, "The History of Hindu India," based on
the book of the same title. Both are available now on
YouTube, Part Four at
https://youtu.be/8A36RSQEb_Q
and Part Five at
https://youtu.be/eVnqJHO3PcY
Parts One (posted in 2014), Two and Three (both posted in
2015) have been very popular on YouTube, receiving
respectively, 2.6 million hits, 1.3 million hits and
965,000 hits along with tens of thousands of "thumbs up"
and hundreds of positive comments.
The History of Hindu India series was developed by the
editors of Hinduism Today magazine in collaboration with
Dr. Shiva Bajpai, Professor Emeritus of History, California
State University Northridge. It is intended to provide an
authentic presentation of the history of India and Hinduism
for use in American middle and high school classes, as well
as Hindu temple study groups and general presentations on
the Hindu religion and history.
Part Four is based on the fourth chapter of the textbook,
"The History of Hindu India," published in 2011. It covers
Indian history from 1850 to 1947, from when the British
Crown took over direct control of India from the East India
Company to Independence. Under British rule, economic
exploitation of the subcontinent increased, resulting in
frequent famine and deprivation across the once wealthy
land. A determined and mostly nonviolent freedom movement
emerged and finally succeeded, resulting in the formation
of modern India and Muslim Pakistan in 1947.
Part five is based on the fifth chapter of the textbook. It
covers Indian history from 1947 to the present day. Opening
with Nehru's famed speech on August 15, 1947, it describes
the formation of the new government, development of the
constitution, invasion of Kashmir by Pakistan, the horrors
of partition, formation of states along linguistic lines,
and efforts to uplift the lower classes. It covers the
religions of India along with religious strife and its
causes, Hindu pilgrimage using Rameswaram as an example,
Ayurveda, the impact of Hinduism in the modern world and
finally a nod to the popularity of Bollywood and Indian
cuisine.
