For those of us sitting at home, wondering what life was like years and years ago in India, you’re in luck. Michael Rogge has fantastically compiled a long list of footage of various places around India, with some of it going back all the way until 1937. On his Youtube channel, you’ll also find footage of other countries which date back many years and is a treat to watch, as it’s a opportunity to see what life was like back then.
