The India Project with Josy Joseph | Radio Azim Premji University

The India Project, presented by award-winning investigative reporter and author Josy Joseph, chronicles the transition of India from a British colony to an independent nation through documents that shed new light on the genesis of Indian democracy and its institutions. In the brief period before Independence, as the architects of free India attempt to weave together the brocade of a new nation from an assortment of princely states, presidencies and other territories,

The India Project goes behind the scenes, uncovering the intrigues, politics and machinations of various dramatis personae, building up to a nail-biting finish with the unfurling of the tricolour on August 15, 1947 to mark the birth of a new, free India.
