I’ve been involved in animating the maps used to visualize a journey into history of INDIA: this country housed extremely ancient civilizations, but it has also been a deeply fragmented country, exposed to foreign countries invasions and exploitations.
Maurya and Gupta Empires took care of its overall reunion under one flag – in the Delhi and Moghul Empire sultanate. Around mid 18th century India was conquered by Great Britain, which ruled the country up until 1947, when Ghandi, one of the most influential personality of ‘900 helped India to restore independency from British Empire.
Since then, India housed deep contradictions and tearing tensions but, even thought still being one of the most representative country of the so-called Third World, it seems now facing towards an era of great development.
