  • Excellent

    This podcast has given me, for the first time, a good insight into India’s pre and proto history, especially the Aryan debate. There is a lot of ‘noise’ on this subject in the world of podcasts, but here there only open - minded and scholarly discussions! Great work!!

  • Pathetic

    Hate this podcast because the host is too uncertain of his own convictions. He is like a weathervane.
