Economic Development and Social Change in India

Available for over a year

Does economic development mean social change in India? We explore the themes of change in a special coverage from Chennai. Presenter Fergus Nicoll visits a dance school where young women are learning ancient forms of the art. He also chats with students at the prestigious IIT University and asks what their hopes are for the future. We go on location for the final shoot of a film called Puppeteer - featuring one of south India's most bankable stars, Arya. And, joining us from Chennai are Nirupama Subramanium, a writer on women's issues and journalist for The Hindu and Suhrith Partha, a lawyer and social commentator. (Photo: Indian bride.
