From all the historical documentaries that I have watched from the BBC these ones by Michael Wood are just the best of them all and he presents all the themes with so much enthusiasm and open-mindedness that is extremely rare from a British perspective. It is impossible to watch it without feeling strong emotions throughout it. Furthermore, the background music is enchanting and it is obvious that so much hard work has gone into the making of this series. This DVD I purchased to cherish permanently in my small collection of DVDs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Michael Wood Genius Again *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 December 2008* An excellent series! Once again Michael Wood's enthusiam, knowledge and insight enable you to actually feel the history, really making it come alive and it becomes all the more magical as a result.He manages to cover vast periods of history without skimping on important moments, proceeding at a steady and perfectly measured pace for the viewer.You feel you are seeing sights that few others have seen outside India, from recently discovered buildings to ancient sights.I thoroughly recommend this DVD. Grab yourself some private time, sit back and prepare to be taken on a fascinating journey.This is what historical programmers should be.In my opinion, all others should be measured up to his standard.My only regret is I can't give it six stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very enjoyable series *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 March 2008* After watching 'The Story Of India' on DVD I have to say that it was time well spent. Historian Michael Wood is a stellar choice for presenting this series. His innate passion for history and energetic style fits seamlessly with the colourful and vibrant subject matter that is India. This is backed up by engaging visuals and music, as expected from the BBC. The series also does well to go back as far as it does, starting off in the South and working its way around other areas of the Indian subcontinent (Pakistan) and even visiting neighbouring regions (Central Asia).This series has the following 6 episodes on 2-discs.1. Beginnings - Ancient rituals in South India and the Indus Valley Civilisation (3000BC) are explored2. The Power of Ideas - covers the emergence of Buddhism around 500BC and the first Indian Empire led by the Maurya rulers.3. Spice Routes and Silk Roads - India as a trading partner of Ancient Rome and Greece.4. Ages of Gold - The Gupta and Chola Empires which marked the Golden Age of Indian history around 300-600AD.5. The Meeting of Two Oceans - Covers the period of Mughal rule including Akbar the Great around 1600AD.6. Freedom - covering British rule and the struggle for independence.It is a great advert for India and it's rich history, placing it on a par with other civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, Persians, Romans and Chinese. There are aspects (Aryan Migration Theory and Indus Valley Civilisation) that some Indian historians will be very unhappy about (as Wood mentions briefly) but until some-one makes a comparable series with evidence to support alternative ideas, this is the best documentary out there. The reason I gave it only 4 stars was because I felt it could have had more content - possibly by having at least 2 more episodes. I personally would have liked more coverage of certain eras (such as 1000BC to 200AD) but I still recommend it highly. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Story of India with Michael Wood: Complete BBC Series [DVD] - Story of China [DVD] [2016] - In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great [DVD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48672679-the-story-of-india-with-michael-wood-complete-bbc-series](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48672679-the-story-of-india-with-michael-wood-complete-bbc-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
