Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Vikram Seth's 1,349-page novel was so dense that Andrew Davies—who adapted Pride and Prejudice—called it his hardest project ever.
The series sparked backlash in India for Davies, a white British man, adapting this specifically Indian epic; some critics argued it flattened the novel's political complexity into pretty heritage tourism.
