Description/Summary
- Summary:
- Layer upon layer of archaeological ruins in India mirror its history of religious strife. Historian William Dalrymple guides viewers through the remains of edifices in the city of Delhi that played a role in religious confrontations. He goes deep into the soul of Delhi to discover the ancient rites of Sufism - a potent mix of the traditions and customs of many religions, chiefly Hinduism and Islam. He discovers, too, the deep-seated antagonism that exists between India's two major religions and asks 'is sufism the answer?'
