What We Think

A refreshingly non-woke historical drama, "The Discovery of India" keeps to genuine cultural and historical storytelling. Its focus remains on India’s real roots, without the filters of modern ideological fads.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This series, based on Jawaharlal Nehru’s work, is primarily concerned with India’s rich cultural, philosophical, and historical narrative. The show respects the story's source material without awkwardly shoehorning modern identity themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional Indian values, spirituality, and family play a central role. There is little evidence of subverting masculinity, faith, or cultural traditions; in fact, the show often upholds these foundations as essential to Indian civilization.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the series is rooted in Nehruvian secularism, it portrays many worldviews from India's past, including diverse religions and philosophies. Non-modern perspectives aren't demonized or caricatured, though Nehruvian views naturally predominate.
