Won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but I watched “By the River” on ABC’s compass series yesterday.
It’s about life (and death) on the river Ganges in Varanasi, India. The holiest city in India and one of the oldest inhabited cities throughout the world.
I took interest in it having visited there in 2014 on a tour with my cricket team. I’m not a religious man but geez this place had a profound effect on me. India is a fascinating concoction of all sides of humanity from some of the oldest societies on earth.
it’s about 25 minutes long, link below. For anyone who’s been there, or in India you’ll know where I’m coming from. For others, I’m sure you’ll find it intriguing if you’ve got an interest in human cultures of the world.
