How was it possible in India to achieve a marriage between oriental magnificence and the rigour of Islamic garden culture? We set out on a voyage of discovery to the most spectacularly beautiful gardens blooming in the midst of hustle and bustle and hullabaloo of modern India.

    A fascinating documentary - & just a taste of everything the gardens of India & Pakistan have. Wonderful to see the renovation programmes & the construction of new parks & gardens. A real step forward in an increasingly barren & overly crowded world. There is so much material & history it would fill further documentaries.......
    Many thanks for giving me a glimpse of a wonderful world of horticultural & philosophical treasures & tradition.

    Thank you for this beautiful series of documentaries on different garden traditions of the Islamic world.
    It's worth pointing out that all these different garden traditions ultimately trace their origins to the gardens of Persia. I think it's appropriate to call these "Islamic gardens," since it was mostly thanks to Islam that the Persian garden spread throughout the world. There were many, many aspects of Persian culture and civilization that Islam adopted and made its own, which also includs the Persian garden.

    It's too bad we didn't see the gardens of village India. Particularly in the lush Kerala. Also a program on the gardens of India without marigolds? Or the temple gardens of Tamil Nadu? Really too focused on the Mughal side, beutiful as it is.

    Very well made. Keep aside the rss muslims and isis hindus, Mughal heritages are also Indian heritage. It is the heritage of hindu, muslims and all indians.
    British destroyed many charming residences around red fort and the heritages around tajmahal. They stole golds and jewels from these buildings.
    But, still india has its potential. They must take care and carry the the traditions of their magnificent past.

    I don't like the narrative. Because all I hear is that, only the Islamic rulers brought the garden culture, geometry and aesthetics in India and before that, none of this existed properly. Whereas it's quite the opposite. They came to India and destroyed everything beautiful. They destroyed our temples which used to be engineering marvels! Whatever they couldn't destroy, they built their own monuments on top of ours. They burnt our universities like Nalanda and Takshila. Those were international universities. Nalanda alone was burning for more than 3 months! They looted us, raped and killed millions of people. With that looted money, they lived a lavish lifestyle. We haven't forgotten any of those atrocities. Still we preserve the Mughal culture, monuments and the history.

      There were no gardens in India before the Muslims, simply because India is already naturally lush and green enough. Gardens are a Persian invention, created for the purpose of being a cool and green refuge in the Iranian desert climate. Since the Muslims that conquered India were Persianized Turks and Afghans, they brought a whole lot of the Persian culture with them to India, which also included the garden.

      Buddhist Nalanda University was destroyed 3 times
      1. During MIHIRIKULA'S reign, Brahmins attacked Nalanda University.. First attack was done by order of Brahmin named Pushyamitra who took advantage of declining Mauryan dynasty and its weak rulers. It should be noted they attacked the university and the monks. The attack was against the Buddhists.
      2. The second destruction came during the 7th century by the Goudas.
      3. The third attack on the Nalanda University by the Turkish leader Bakhtiyar Khilji during the year 1193
      Hope that clarified your doubts. Knowledge is bliss 🙏

    What does "oriental magnificence" mean? Oriental is a very outdated and loaded term but what does it even mean in the context of India? Another word that is completely inappropriate is "exotic" because the designs found in India are not exotic to Indians only to Westerners.

    Why do they call it islamic? These garden designs are from the ancient persians, who wrote about their gardens and wine. Islam has culturally appropriated, erasing the history. In addition the Indians have an immortal history of the best gardens ever that is more wild and free than the persian style

    Your videos are always produced outstandingly. However, you need to do more research. Your commentary is not factual. In India, the President's role is ceremonial. The Prime Minister is the executive. Yes, the President gets to live in the presidential house - Rashtrapati Bhavan, which has a beautiful garden. The Indian garden psyche mimics nature. Nature is chaotic and less organized. English gardens also mimic nature. Different civilizations adopted their own approach to gardening. One has to appreciate every gardening style.
