Bharat Ek Khoj 53: Epilogue

Bharat Ek Khoj-The Discovery of India
A Production of Doordarshan, the Government of India’s Public Service Broadcaster
Episode 53: Epilogue
Nehru commented that science may be on the verge of discovering vital mysteries. Ignoring the ‘why’ of philosophy, science would go on asking ‘how’ giving greater content and meaning to life.
Nehru considered Vedas the earliest books that humanity possessed, behind which lay ages of civilised existence, during which the Indus Valley civilisation had grown. The visuals recapitulating the earlier episodes show, Nachiketa questioning: What is soul? What are space and time? The death-god Yama replies: Brahman is supreme, manifest in Om that is imperishable. In the epic Mahabharata, Arjuna trembles at the prospect of killing the relatives in War, till Krishna counsels him to forsake weakness and face the ordained duties. One’s soul is everlasting and allows only the right of action in one’s given life.
The Buddha preaches without any reference to God or another world. He relies on logic and experience, and asks people to seek the truth in their own minds. Ashoka is stricken with remorse in spite of his triumph in the Kalinga war and discusses the transience of everything before surrendering to the Buddha. The Bhakti movement with the saint-poets like Basavanna spread Saguna and Nirguna songs among the masses. We move to the advent of Islam and the surge of Sufism with its message that puts love for men at par with love for God. Amir Khusro is seen singing Persian and Brajbhasha lyrics. Kabir appears with transcendental songs of wisdom and religion and shares mystic thoughts with the bemused Sultan. Akbar discourses on his newly found faith, Din-e-llahi. The scenario now captures the encounter between Aurangzeb and Shivaji.
During Tipu Sultan’s reign in the 18th century, the European power is on its way to become Indian rulers. Under the rule of the British, Bengal is plundered to support the Industrial revolution in England. In the 1857 revolt, Mangal Pandey is seen to pull the first trigger, with the vow to throw the ‘white’ regime to the rivers. Rammohun Roy opposes Sati, and Swami Vivekananda raises a powerful voice against racial distinctions. Bal Gangadhar Tilak appears in the late 19th century with his Extremist faction and joins forces with Dadabhai Naoroji, in the latter’s demand: ‘Freedom is our birthright’. Now comes Gandhi who radically re-defines non-violence to mean alleviation of suffering, rise of the lowest echelons of society, and decline of the British imperialism. The 1930 turmoil of India and the Ballia ‘Bandh’ lead to the spread of the battle cry of ‘Do or Die‘ that reverberates throughout India in August 1942. In another half decade, India wins freedom on 15 August 1947.
Nehru concludes his epic saga of re-discovering his motherland with the powerful prayer by Tagore from Gitanjali: Where the mind is without fear and the head held high; Where knowledge is free; Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

[@aar5004]

Finally, the journey through Bharatvarsh's illustrious history has come to a close. I am envious of the previous generation who witnessed such a masterpiece during their childhood. It has enriched my knowledge of history, broadened my imagination, and fostered empathy towards other people's beliefs . However, it has also left me with numerous questions about our past that I would like to explore further.

चाहे जो हुआ हो चाहे जिसकी गलती हो चाहे जिस ने जो किया हो चाहे जिसका नाम भुला दिया गया हो या चाहे जिसका नाम का बखान किया गया आज हम आजाद हैं और कुछ नहीं तो कम से कम एक मौका तो है कि हम अपने देश का भविष्य खुद लिख सके चाहे कितने कांटे और पढ़े हो राह में चाहे और कितनी तकलीफ है देखनी हो चाहे और कितना कुर्बानी देनी पड़े। देश सदैव संपूर्ण प्रभुत्व संपन्न बनने की राह में अग्रसर है।

[@rmsharma300]

Completed today all 53 episodes! This last episode was awesome! V disappointed that there was no Gandhi seen in episode 51,52. His.story should have been mentioned like other characters. Best acting was by Om Puri in 2 episodes of "Aurangzeb". Ramayan n Mahabharata episodes were also good, especially Ramayan climax with Ravana giving advice to Laxman! What did u like the most?

[@machine.g]

Shivaji role was awesome by Naseerudin Shah

[@mohammadtaqirajani611]

Nachiketa episode

[@tejasbhagat4444]

[@Sure2020]

Nehru tried to mimic Ashoka (making peace with enemies and not building up army ) and his Bhai bhai policy with China, albeit Ashoka was bhikahuk but Nehru was enjoying all comforts and pleasures of life. That’s why Asoka became the great and Nehru became worst PM with so many failures, Kashmir UN , China war , UN Security Council sweat and what not

[@goognamgoognw6637]

watching the whole series, the repeated concept of non violence felt unjustified. Am i right to say that its roots comes from an attempt to pacify a multi-religion, multi-races nation ? That may be justified and beautiful but it's a mistake to not be prepared for war againt foreign bullies like the Chinese. People are evil by nature. Let them take a hand they'll take an arm.

[@amulyamishra5745]

Worst PM ?? I think their are better contenders for the title.

[@shadabansari-rc3cd]

Well, Nehru was one of the best PM India had he truly own the word "sab ka sath sab ka vikas". Worst PM is Modi right now only jumlebaazi no serious work making fool.

[@ArunavaSanyaliiest]

What about Subhash Bose ?

[@pandyap16]

Do you think Nehru would write something about him in his own book???

[@amulyamishra5745]

Well, he was yet to form Azad Hind Fauj and therefore it was not possible to chronicle it.

[@machine.g]

He wrote this book in Jail in 1942. Bose was not yet popular then
