"This is an opportune time to describe our ancient heritage and the heroic tales of our predecessors. With a civilisation of almost 4,000 years or more, our economical, intellectual and military superiority was on par with those of the then Greeks and Romans. We should be proud of those resplendent times, which may inspire our future generation as well as uphold our image abroad in a positive way. The aim of the programme, designed in English with Bangla subtitles, is to attract the young generation, particularly the expatriate Bangalee children who may not understand Bangla well," said Major MH Khan (Retired), the anchor of the show.

The show has a few significant features. In every episode, the show contains comments from experts on various subjects that delineate the rich heritage of this Gangetic soil. The earlier shows described the son of our soil MN Roy's influence on the people and leaders of Latin America such as Che Guevara, Pablo Neruda, who fought for their sovereignty and freedom, the heroic tale of Bijoy Singho, the prince of Bengal, and his conquest of Sri Lanka, and a magnificent dramatic depiction of the great poet Michael Madhusudan Dutta's Meghnadbadh Kabya, the glimpses from the Concert for Bangladesh, the song of the Allen Ginsberg's famous poem September on Jessore Road with the flashes from the movie Stop Genocide, the tale revealing the fact that without the help of Satyen Bose, Einstein's famous Theory of Relativity might not have seen the light of day, the sage Khana who spoke out for women's liberation almost 4000 years back, the great architect FR Khan's triumph as the designer of the world's first tallest building and many more.

Esrarul Huq, Executive Director, Sales and Marketing of Channel i also participated in the discussion.
