India has transformed itself into a hodgepodge state of over a billion people, combining myriad languages, ethnicities, religious faiths, and geographic backdrops. It is a land of extremes and contradictions, its population second in size only to China's. It has the distinction of being the world's largest democracy, yet the vestiges of the caste system remain today, stifling progress and preventing equality. This six-part documentary series takes the viewer on a journey across the Indian subcontinent, making them witnesses to parts of India each a world all its own. It is an eye-opening look at the true state of a people trying to carve out a modern existence in a country still beholden to the past.
