Bible Ki Kahaniya (English: Stories from the Bible) was an Indian epic period serial based on Christian scriptures of the Bible in Hindi language. It was one of the first serials in India to involve high budget and use of fast paced technology.[1] The television program was originally telecast on Doordarshan in the early 1993 to late 1995, but DD stopped its telecast abruptly because there was fear of communal tension due to certain episodes, in view of threats from Kashmiri militants, objection from some Hindu elements, differences between the production team and channel and budget issues.[2] The characters were played by Bollywood stars including Kabir Bedi as Abraham and Urmila Matondkar.[3]
