Alexander Armstrong embarks on an epic journey across India to explore how a nation that gained independence 77 years ago is now a rising global superpower. With the world's largest population - 1.4 billion and counting - what do India's history, traditions, and people reveal about its rapid ascent?
Season 1, Episode 01 -
In this first episode, Alexander Armstrong dives headfirst into the glorious chaos of Mumbai - India's fastest, loudest, and most crowded city, where gleaming skyscrapers rise above sprawling slums.
Property prices are sky high, and curious to see what the local property boom looks like, Alexander meets Ravi - a charming, fast-talking estate agent - who shows him the highs (luxury flats with sea views) and the lows (eye-watering prices). Along the way, Alexander takes in some of old Bombay's traditional colonial splendour - grand Victorian stations, ornate libraries - before stopping for a bite of Mumbai's favourite street snack: the Vada Pav, a fiery vegetarian burger that doesn't hold back.
