India is the only country left with a living Indo-European religious tradition. In this documentary I look at some ancient Hindu temples around Mysore, Chamundeshwari and others at Talakadu, all associated with the cursed Wodeyar dynasty. Then I head to the Nilgiri hills where my family used to live in the days of the British Raj. I visit the Ooty club in Udagamandalam of which my relative Cecil Ralph Townsend Congreve was once a member. I interview a member of the Toda tribe who practices a Dravidian form of buffalo worship. Finally I take a train to the tea planter's town of Coonoor where my ancestor Norman Rowsell died.

This is a sequel to "A British History of Ceylon Tea" and again I am looking both at the native culture and also the legacy of the British Empire.
