A pat on the back for India.
This series is BEAUTIFUL. The cinematography is gorgeous, it flows well. It's a very easy and fascinating watch for sure. It highlights many positive points of India. But that's it.
India is a diverse and very rich country, have no doubt in this, and it has a very rich and colorful history. But not all that history is good. I was particularly surprised with the episode (ep 2 the land of green guardians ) that talks about India's conservation efforts. It does not mention the MASSIVE pollution problem in India what so ever. It only talks about their parks, the cleanest city in India, composting etc. It focuses on individual cities and people who ARE doing the right thing and completely ignores that 90% of the country is not.
"Look! We have these beautiful animals and wildlife in our national parks! Our country is so vibrant with beautiful flowing rivers and beautiful wildlife"
Meanwhile the biggest and most important river in India (the Ganga) is ecologically dead in parts, and heavily polluted, also ignoring the fact India is the most heavily polluted country in the world.
While this docuseries does a good job focusing on the positive aspects of India, it doesn't show the real side of India. Not just with conservation but with all parts of the series. Religion, food, conservation, etc.
If you want to ONLY see the good parts of India, watch this series. If you want to see the REAL side of India, the GOOD and the BAD, I suggest going to YouTube and watching real travelers go there.
