Former greats of the game, who lend their voice in telling this riveting story include Ravi Shastri, Ajit Agarkar, Danny Morrison, Simon Doull and Ian Smith.

Featuring insights and analysis from cricketing legends, Taking Guard casts the spotlight on the rivalry between the two countries, which barely sees any baring of the teeth, snarling or heated moments on the field but is full of intense competition and peppered with mutual respect. We are excited and look forward to this contest between two terrific and evenly-matched sides and will announce a few more initiatives for cricket fans in the coming weeks as the action moves from Australia to New Zealand.” Divan added further.

    The show has been brought to television with an effort to re-live with context and perspective, the passion and ideas of some of India’s finest orators. Their public addresses at important junctures of history roused the blood of millions – to define, build, and bind our nation together. As a nation today, it is pertinent for us to understand the words, vigour, and emotions that lifted those in despair, inspired courage and great revolutionary ideas, while refining the souls of citizens, not just of India, but the world over. More often than not, their fervent appeals culminated into some of the biggest turning points of history.

    Real footage of speeches, expert comments, reactions of both applause and backlash, along with the everlasting impact they had, are covered in this mini-series.

    Epic TV programming head Akul Tripathi said,  “While we will all know the words of many of these speeches, like Nehru’s ‘Tryst for Destiny’ speech on independence eve, we have rarely, if ever, actually heard or seen it. As we celebrate another independence day, Bharat Ki Awaaz is an effort to give both – a face, and perspective to some of the greatest speeches of our times.”

    The first episode will be see impassioned orations by one of the most dynamic leaders of the freedom struggle – Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose who was amongst the young leaders to emerge in the 1930s. His speeches made a deep impact on Indians, wherever they lived in the world.
