Summary
The Indian Subcontinent is romantic, remote and mysterious. From the plains of Pakistan to the foothills of the Himalaya, from Northern India and Rajasthan to Tamil Nadu in the south, this vast melting pot of civilizations, religions, cultures and landscapes has seen some of the greatest artistic golden ages on earth. This series examines the Indus Valley civilizations, Tamil Nadu-land of the temples-and the Mughal Empire, three very different dynasties that shaped modern India. In Pakistan Unveiled, art historian Sona Datta visits the Harappa archaeological site to learn about a complex people that flourished from 2700 to 1700 B.C. Taxila ruins reveal how Alexander the Great influenced Buddhism and Lahore architecture illustrates the rise of Islam during the Mughal reign-establishing cultural norms that persist today.
