India is home to more than 170 million Muslims, with Islam being the country's largest religious minority and one of the largest religious populations on the planet. But survey after survey has shown that adherents are struggling in the Indian job market. Why do so many Muslims feel discriminated against here, and is affirmative action the answer? What is it like being Chinese in India? We speak to one young Indian of Chinese descent, and find how why he wants to emigrate abroad. In India, food is almost a currency between cultures. It is a way of identifying which state you are from, what language you speak and also your religious practices - and the people in Kolkata really love their food. Muslim food is a popular choice, as Vishala Sri-Pathma finds out. More than 70% of India's population lives in rural areas - this poses a huge challenge when it comes to education. Schools struggle to get good teachers and give pupils access to technology. But now the internet might be able to help - cloud technology means remote teaching can reach remote areas. We visit one village benefiting from the advances in digital technology. Throughout the programme we are joined by Mudhar Patherya and Hena Nafis, a businessman and nutritionist both based in Kolkata.
