India with Sanjeev Bhaskar

Mon 6 Aug, 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm 60mins

In the second of his journeys through modern India, Sanjeev Bhaskar takes a road trip along the incredible Grand Trunk Road in a very personal quest to find his ancestral home. Along the way he's invited to a lavish wedding - for a British couple from the Midlands; travels high into the mountains to see the summer capital of the Raj; and visits the breathtaking Golden Temple of Amritsar, the holiest shrine of the Sikhs.

Finally, Sanjeev crosses the border into Pakistan in search of the village his father was forced to leave when India was partitioned 60 years ago. In the course of his adventure, Sanjeev gains a deeper insight into the price of Indian independence and how it caused the largest movement of people in history, changing forever the lives of millions of Indians - not least those of his own family.
