  • Summary

  • Echoes of India is the story of India like you've never heard it before. Host Anirudh Kanisetti takes you on a journey through its wonders, from the Greek art of Afghanistan  to the thriving ports of Tamil Nadu. Along the way, monks debate, queens boast, and armies roar. From philosophy to politics to economics, the past comes back to life - noisy, breathing, as thriving as the Indian subcontinent is today.

  • Beloved of the Gods: Ashoka Maurya in His Time and Ours

    Beloved of the Gods: Ashoka Maurya in His Time and Ours
    Sep 20 2021
    In the Season 3 Finale, we explore South Asia at the time of its most famous ancient figure: Ashoka Maurya, ruler of the largest empire seen in the subcontinent to that point. Anirudh meets a rude South Indian visiting one of Ashoka's inscriptions and hears the words of the emperor himself to uncover the nature, structure, and sobering truths about the Mauryan empire and its impact on the history of South Asia.

    Season 4 of Echoes of India will be out in November/December 2021!

  • The Emperor is Naked: How History Forgot the Ajivikas and Remembered the Mauryas

    The Emperor is Naked: How History Forgot the Ajivikas and Remembered the Mauryas
    Sep 13 2021
    The forgotten religion of the Ajivikas can tell us a great deal about the religions and empires of the early Gangetic Plains. Anirudh visits the medieval Jain site of Shravanabelagola near Bangalore, recounts the story of the mysterious Ajivika teacher Makkhali Goshala, and explains how the rise of the mighty empire of the Mauryas is connected to this vanished religious tradition.
