To the Millennials Mocking Ramayan & Mahabharat… Here’s Why They Were Truly Epic

YouTube’s “pause-and-find-flaws” generation is calling out bloopers from Ramayan and Mahabharat. They’ll never know the extent to which these TV shows were, literally, epic. Back then, Doordarshan assumed the role of absentee grandparents; Sunday morning television was a proxy temple visit.
