One of the most intriguing parts of the Raj story has not yet been told - what Indians thought of the British and their legacies.
This series of five programmes, narrated by Roshan Seth , aims to fill the gap through the memories and opinions of Indians who worked for the British and made friends with them, fought to throw them out but adopted their institutions and language. 1: Serving the Sahibs
Indians recruited, often grudgingly, into key professions - the army, civil service, law and business - look back on their apprenticeship under colonial masters. Written and produced by ZAREER MASANI (R)

It also forced some very traditional societies to face up to 20th-century life. How are countries like the United Arab Emirates coping with their new-found wealth? In what ways are local traditions being kept alive?
