Adapted for television in 1984 from the four novels by Paul Scott, "The Raj Quartet," this stunning series is set in northern India in the last uneasy years of British rule, when rioting and violence heralded the granting of independence.
It is the story of the men and women of both ruling and ruled classes trying, amidst the turmoil, to come to terms with the drastic changes taking place around them. Their lives will never be the same again.
