Summary

Twenty-five years in the making, this anthology of centuries-old folk tales from the villages of South Asia recreate the oral traditions of old. Treat yourself to 27 old-fashioned short stories of kings, princesses, fools, wisemen, talking animals, treacherous villains, and unlikely heroes. Plucked and distilled from the anthropological literature, these tales hearken to a simpler time and faraway places, when old and young alike were entertained by fireside storytellers who wandered from village to village to ply their yarn-spinning trade.

Very well done. Would have been nice to hear mention of Nepal’s relationship, maybe something about Indian innovations in math and science.

Great overview

It perhaps spent too much much time on the ancient history (although that is important for understanding the present) but overall great and leveled course.

Actually very good

The lecturer does a fantastic job of covering Indian history and providing both inside and outside perspectives without diminishing either.

Great!

Very thorough history guide of India. Really liked the detail, but one thing missing in the audio vs written is the spelling to go along with the pronunciation.

Very thorough and well written
