Patriotism is the days flavor, and why should it not be? Every nation’s rise is always based upon thousands of unsung heroes who give their sweat, blood, and lives to form a foundation to support future generations. Many of these heroes remain in the books of history, many remain in stories passed from generation to generation, and many appear and disappear within the textbooks depending upon the political establishments.
Sacrifices made by our forefathers irrespective of their caste, creed, and gender need to be told to our next generation time and again. When it comes to India, our great motherland, which presents the most diverse culture in the world it becomes all the more interesting representing unity in diversity. Bharat Hain Hum, from Graphiti Studios, is one such brilliantly made animation series as a part of the Krish, Trish, and Baltiboy franchise. Season 2 of the animation series, like Season 1, is available simultaneously across Doordarshan, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.

These stories are inspiring for children and adults equally well stirring you to the deepest level when you come across the hardships and sacrifices made by them brilliantly presented in animated form.
