Description: Impact of Western social customs and scientific advance on Indian life in villages and cities. "We found this to be the best of the British Library films and, indeed, the best of all the films on contemporary India. Really excellent for adult interests in India. Like all Library films it has a definite pro-British slant, but is really remarkably fair. Some of the Indian reviewers felt that the evils of industrialization and social change should be shown, city slums for example, but above all a picture that gets away from the stereotyped exotic to show department stores, night clubs, and factories in an industrialized India built upon an overwhelmingly agricultural India." A. Hemsing
