    Born in 1992, I grew up as a child in Uttar Pradesh. Some of my experiences in the 90s and early 2000s are more similar to these times than to the totally transformed India of today. This goes to show how rapidly India has changed over the last two decades, and how resistant it was to change until the liberalization of the Indian economy.Very strange how i can find similarities between my time as a child in 1990s in uttar pradesh village to the viedoes from 1938, just insane.

    While some of content seems staged/misappropriated (possible due the the british target audience of that time), the story telling style is beautifully poetic.
    Thanks for sharing this beautiful ornament from Indian History.

    For at least 2,500 years, the Grand Trunk Road has linked the Indian subcontinent with Central Asia. It runs from Chittagong, Bangladesh west to Howrah, West Bengal in India, then across Northern India passing from Allahabad (Prayagraj) it goes through Delhi, passing from Amritsar towards Lahore and Peshawar in Pakistan, finally terminating in Kabul, Afghanistan covering 4900 kilometers.

    I grew up in the suburbs of Mumbai in the late seventies. I remember, bread was ₹1.80 a loaf and rickshaw minimum was ₹1.80. There were 5p candies. Above all, there were trees and thickets in Mumbai, where a leopard could be lurking at night. There were paddy fields beyond Thane, where people would grow crops.
    There were Gulmohar and Mayflower trees everywhere in mumbai. It looked so beautiful in late April - May. So pretty, was my Mumbai.

    The technical quality of this footage is unbelievable. It's 70+ years old for crying out loud. The only thing I could possibly knock it for if I wanted to would be that it's a bit contrasty and has a slight magenta cast both of which could be due entirely to the age of the footage. I have to wonder what this footage was like when it was freshly shot.

      Which of the traditions portrayed in the video do you wish to retain? Bullock carts? Chained elephants? Palanquins borne by men? Petty rulers accompanied by simpering dancing girls? Snake charming? Women walking miles carrying pails of water? It's a good riddance that most of these (except, sadly, the last one) are either gone or are very near to becoming extinct. I'm all for preserving traditions but this particular video doesn't show much that I'm particularly inclined to preserve (except for the clothes that the people are wearing. I'd very much like Indian clothes to survive the onslaught of westernisation).

    On the other hand people look deprived and engulfed in poverty and the soul reason was the rulers who did this. The Britishers were having the feast of their lives London was thriving like never before and all of this on the cost of Perpetual adversity of the people of India.

    Laughable depiction of the so called ' Indian Raja' and his ludicrous 'dancing girl' - it's so obviously staged. The film wants the viewers to believe that the 'cool hills are a short walk from his regular palace...besides no maharani of those days would have travelled on an open road on an open palanquin without being in purdah
    I can imagine the 'polite society' of britain lapping all this up back in those days - fools

      In fact the entire film is seems to be scripted . In fact it's an enacted documentary

    this looks like a stereotyped and small view of india, like someone who went to one village and staged some quite insignificant scenes and then pretends he has seen india. Quite britannic.
