Rediscovering India's Tapestry Unveiling Hidden Chapters | Anica Mann | TEDxSITB

With her eye opening speech Ms Anica Mann made us see history through an interesting perspective. She made us see a glimpse of the rich Indian culture and heritage which is lost in the pages of textbooks. As a student she loved learning about how the geographical parameters impact the traditions of a civilization. She talked about the Chola dynasty which originated in the southern parts of India presently know as Tamil Nadu. Also about the Arya dynasty, The Indo-Aryans were part of an expansion into the Indus Valley and Ganges Plain from 1800-1500 BCE, whose literature, religion, and modes of social organization subsequently shaped the course of Indian culture. Despite having a plethora of beautifully diverse cultures and history, majority of educational institutes of India still priorities the western history. Saraswati river which was one of the most crucial rivers in the past, may have ceased to exist, but its tributaries still remain in the states of Uttarakhand. Ms Anica Mann through her speech tried to convey us, history can be made fun only if try to find it.

Anica's insight into the intellectual history of India being an unsung hero is spot on. It's unfortunate that as Indians (people residing in this geographical region), we often miss out on this perspective. The legacy of the British Raj has undeniably left its scar, but it's within our will to reshape our history books and fill ourselves with a sense of pride. Thanks Anica!
