The India Video

A detailed Summary of The India Video

The video ends by describing how past Islam and Muslim cultures, languages, and architecture have left a lasting impression on India and the rest of the world. It also acknowledges the global presents of Buddhism and Hinduism. Looking around at the rest of the audience's faces, one can tell that there was definitely a sign of relief that the video had ended.
