    One has to pinch one's self to realise this was made only 37 years after independence. Watching in 2020 over a greater span in years, so much will have changed, indeed was already changing when I visited in 1997, since then. Yet, there will be much that remains the same in the remote and rural areas shown in this film.

    I blame this episode, at around 21:00, for my addiction to Indian food (well, the kind of Indian food that is commonly served in Indian restaurants in the USA, that is). Seeing those interesting concoctions served up in the thalis... I just had to try them!

    Wow! It is hard to believe this programme is forty years old! "Deccan", with Brian Thompson, and "Confessions of a Train Spotter", with Michael Palin, are my favourite episodes. Ootacamund looked like a tranquil hilltop oasis back in 1980. I feel so nostalgic listening to that crackling reception from the BBC World Service on that Philips radio in the cottage. Remember at the top of every hour: "This is London", followed by a famous Morris dance tune, then the five beeps, then the news. Those were the good old days of world band (shortwave) radio? Sadly, the Internet has made world band radio practically extinct.

Now, we're 1.5 billion. Some facts that have contributed greatly to quality of life deterioration: population explosion, forced migration of people from rural areas to cities and towns, several times more big cars on unfit roads with idiotic drivers high on drugs or on their caring two hoots for traffic rules, invasion of the cultures because of Internet on every phone making the generation very dumb, unsocial, depressed, anxious with anger issues in many, way more crime compared to back then, a highly corrupt system that allows for illegal cutting of trees to make way for "hotels" and shops right on major, congested roads. We have had no proper planning in any respect. And as you may have already noticed, very few Indians complain about these things, least of all, the population, traffic and lot of crime. They seem absolutely oblivious to these factors. Nothing can be more foolish than that. Mc Donald's, Burger King, Samsung, big SUV's and malls don't bring any charm, they have torn apart the cultural fabric of the nation. The best they can do is to make every place look the same, in India or outside. It's a dismal picture. I feel very suffocating to live in India while it wasn't so when I was in US 7 years. The main reason for for feeling good was the countryside in US. Their towns and cities have problems too but I could just take a car on rent and drive solo to wherever I wanted.

I have been looking on YT for years for this episode to come out with sound, and here it is! Some of the sound seems distorted quite a bit though.

      Yeah, and they gave India railways, roads, and many other infrastructure. I see buildings and roads locally built cracking up after just 5 years while the same structures built by British during the turn of the century remain robust, without flaws. We are quick to overlook the good they did though, naturally, there will be some bad.

      @@musiccollector Colonialism can have no excuses. The good, if at all any was done, was out of self interest. Let there be no justification for colonising or condescension. India was the the richest, most advanced and erudite nation till about 1700 when the Mughals first and British / European later descended to make it among the poorest. India would have been much better off if it was left as is without the British colonising and other European powers - Portugal for one. Atleast, destiny would have been ours. We shall rise again, the tide is already turning but we will not colonise even at our next zenith. That is India.

    Very third rate haunting music , like some cheap horror movie music, it spoils the whole experience. There should have been more of the chugging sound of the steam engine.

    Terrible documentary. He makes the whole of the subcontinent look like dystopia personified. 1980s India was never a paradise. But even visuals like those of the hills (the countryside at large) were made to appear deliberately cut off from what he considers 'natural' - as if even nature was at its most vengeful in this part of the world. Oh and the background music. Thoroughly unsettling - something which only aggravated what appeared to be his belief that the Indian subcontinent was a menacing devilish pre-civilizational blackhole where survival and existence were an exception.

      Did you model your post on what they term the "narrative of angry victimhood"?

      How about using some common sense to realise that the audio is sounding weird because it has deteriorated on the VHS tapes?
