A Passage to India: From Aryans to Empire (2018)

India is the only country left with a living Indo-European religious tradition. In this documentary Rowsell looks at some ancient Hindu temples around Mysore, Chamundeshwari and others at Talakadu, all associated with the cursed Wodeyar dynasty. He heads to the Nilgiri hills where his family used to live in the days of the British Raj. He visit the Ooty club in Udagamandalam of which his relative Cecil Ralph Townsend Congreve was once a member. He interviews a member of the Toda tribe who practices a Dravidian form of buffalo worship. Finally Rowsell takes a train to the tea planters' town of Coonoor where his ancestor Norman Rowsell died. This is a sequel to "A British History of Ceylon Tea" and again Rowsell looks both at the native cultures and also the legacy of the British Empire.
