    A Brief History

    On October 2, 1869, Mahatma Gandhi (d. 1948), Indian freedom fighter, activist, and philosopher, was born.  The rich history of the Indian subcontinent is full of memorable events, including those that are not just of a political nature.  Project Discover of India, a collaboration of thirteen History YouTube Channels, presents the complex, at times tragic, and at times encouraging stories of India and its many diverse peoples.

    Digging Deeper

    Our story begins over 5,000 years ago…

    From its origins as one of the world’s earliest civilizations to India’s more modern conquest by the British, the preceding videos have covered quite a bit about India’s amazing history.  The story of India continues and we hope that your learning about this subcontinent and its people will also continue beyond our playlist.

    Thank you to all of our subscribers and viewers for watching our videos and we wish you all a fantastic fall!

    Question for students (and subscribers): Which video from the playlist did you either enjoy the most or found to be the most interesting?  Please let us know in the comments section below this article.
