First shown in October 2001
Contrary
to popular misconception that the British empire spread prosperity and
advancement around the world, in reality many of the countries it colonised
had thriving economies and cultures of their own. No country exemplifies
this more than India.
Historian Maria Misra explores the hidden origins of Britain's relationship with India from the 17th century, which was built on equality and respect before being tainted by the religious zealotry and imperial ideology which was the Raj. This website places the interaction into the context of trade and politics and shows the myriad ways that India has suffused the English lifestyle.
