Description

India. A land where history, myth and email forwards have come together to create a sense of a glorious past that is awe-inspiring...and also kind of dubious.

But that is what happens when your future is uncertain and your present is kind of shitty-it gets embellished until it becomes a totem of greatness and a portent of potential.

Sidin Vadukut takes on a complete catalogue of 'India's Greatest Hits' and ventures to separate the wheat of fact from the chaff of legend.

Did India really invent the zero? Has it truly never invaded a foreign country in over 1,000 years?

Did Indians actually invent plastic surgery before those insufferable Europeans?

The truth is more interesting-and complicated-than you think
