In this series, the goal of our 6 threads was to show the place of India in the Ancient world.
We see that for centuries, through trade and through philosophies, Hinduism & Buddhism, architecture, epics & other literature, Yoga, Ayurveda, and sciences, India reached all across Eurasia & parts of Africa,

Today, at #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav, as our nation looks inwards and outwards to rise on its feet once again, we thought it was an apt topic to cover.
We wish you all a very happy Independence Day, and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your overwhelming response to our series.
