INDIA IN TRANSITION

India is an ancient land of devotion, ritual, and tradition - but it is also in the throes of becoming the modern world's largest consumer economy. This program looks at both broad areas of progress (education, health care, information technology, urbanization) and concerns (illiteracy, poverty, the caste system, urban sprawl, damage to natural resources) and specific examples of each. With its 8000 year old culture, this most densely populated of major countries is home to 1 billion people in the world's largest democracy; it must feed a population three times that of the US on one third of the amount of land. Dominated by Britain for two centuries, under Gandhi's leadership it attained its freedom in 1947. Unable then to feed itself, without industry and plagued by the caste system, India has since gone from poverty to prosperity, experienced a "green revolution," and become a major player in information technology. INDIA IN TRANSITION explores the growth and the struggles of a modern giant.
