Synopsis
Almost 50 years ago a young upstart from the USA began to stir up the conservative Indian Art History world. The Ajanta cave system, one of India's premier Buddhist sites, is held sacrosanct by Indian scholars. After half a lifetime of investigation, Professor Walter Spink, from the University of Michigan, has changed the history of India.
