Rich history of trade

Along with gems like yoga, chess and the number zero; India, since ancient times, also served as a conduit for the global spread of many commodities that we use today. For instance, the history of zinc-mining in India goes back centuries, as does the cultivation of sesame, the first seed from which oil was extracted. Taking us through this rich Indian history, EPIC Channel has announced the launch of a new weekly mini-series titled Saamagri Aur Sampatti that will air from February 6 onwards. 

The show is presented in a unique conversational format and employs animation to convey the interesting stories of how the trade of many commodities shaped the world as we know it, and how India played a pivotal part in this process.
