Amman, Ashok Chakra and Swastik

Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria

What could a statue of an Islamic ruler in the Umayyad dynasty near Jordan have in common with Ashoka Pillar in Sarnath India? How does Jordan, a country with a 95% Islamic population, have aspects of Hinduism and Buddhism in its architecture. This week, in the third episode of Beneath the Veneer, we travel to Amman in Jordan and Jericho in Palestine, and uncover the fascinating story of cultural migrations. Tune in, to discover how the Swastik, an inherently Indian symbol, has mysteries and is found all over the world.
