Description: Studies old and new India — her unique traditions of the past, and her efforts to meet the needs of the present and future. Surrounded by sea and mountains, India's geographical position has isolated her for centuries. In today's shrinking world, India strives to overcome a heritage of rigid social castes, to obtain equal rights for all her people, to industrialize farming, build factories and dams, educate her children and teach them a national language. Discusses religion, women's place in society, climate and clothing, the use of work animals, transportation, handicrafts, farm crops, and cities.
