India and Uruguay: Golden Dreams

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Craig Jeffrey ponders how one Hindu holy man's dream sparked a wild gold chase (or at least a giant archaeological investigation) in Uttar Pradesh - and what gold mania reveals about Indian society. And, as part of a typically passionate crowd of football supporters in Montevideo, Ben Weisz explains why Uruguayans do not really rate England's chances in the World Cup 2014.
