Nirvana and Beyond: An Indian Journey' is a panoramic tale of the Indian civilisation beginning with the Harappan civilisation up until the formation of the Indian nation-state and thereafter. The film travels to different parts of the country and revisits the rise and fall of empires and rulers; highlighting ancient Indian contributions to fields as diverse as economy, politics, religious and spiritual scholarship, medicine and science.  It looks at monuments as testimonies to the flourishing diversity of cultures in India. And while drawing attention to this rich syncretic heritage, it also alerts one to the dangers inherent in a plural society. As the film traces the metamorphosis of the Indian civilisation into a modern nation it essays some crucial concerns for India as a developing nation
