India Uncharted
History You Missed in Class
Head to Storytel India for India Uncharted: History You Missed in Class, a 20-part audio series on stories from Indian history that have largely remained out of public discourse until recently. This could either be a result of deliberate obscurantism or just a natural loss of collective memory. The series not only shines a light on such episodes but also presents known stories from a refreshing new perspective.
Some stories in the series also endeavor to exhibit shocking butterfly effects that have served to connect two seemingly unrelated events separated by both time and space. One of the well-known Jallianwala Bagh massacre, for instance, demonstrates how two immigrant families—one from Britain, the other from Iran—set in motion the chain of events that would eventually sink the British hold over the subcontinent.
There is also the story of how Emperor Napoleon and Czar Alexander teamed up to script the Aksai Chin dilemma more than a hundred years before India and China even came into being as republics.
This series is for you if:
History bores you,
Reading makes you sleepy, and
Thrillers make you tick.
So go ahead, add it to your list and give it a spin, if already subscribed to Storytel. If not, well, subscribe!
