From: Myths of India: The Mahabharata. Part TwoFrom the documentary:
Our ignorance of the vast age of India's civilisation was due.. to a tendency to view Europe, our world, as the heart of life on earth, an expedient that was self serving during the heady days of empire.
"We still think that all other civilisations were of minor quality, and that is why we still have difficulties accepting that in the Indian subcontinent something developed that was even more important than the other civilisations. " -- Michael Jansen, architectural history.
