This was really good, fine acting by the leading actor who plays a very mean man. Emmy winner, 14 part story by Granada Television from mid-1980s about Indian independence from British rule in WWII era. I liked it better in four DVDs than many old off-air VHS tapes. It can be slow at times but I'm sure if you like BBC you will love it.
Read the book for a class in college and had to watch the series as well. The book by Paul Scott is an incredible read and the TV series by the BBC is just as good. The series is very well done and showcases a lot of British actors in their early roles such as Charles Dance.
Has there ever been a Country that the white man has gone into without destroying the indigenous people, and taking everything.
