This collection of ten essays on men who shaped India's identity is adapted from the popular show Bharatvarsha, hosted by actor-director Anupam Kher on ABP News. From rulers like Ashoka and Akbar to spiritual leaders like Gautama Buddha and Kabir, and from learned men like Adi Shankaracharya and Dara Shikoh to great warriors like Prithviraj Chauhan and Maharana Pratap, these men, through their ideas and deeds, continue to inspire the people of this huge subcontinent.
