Mark Twain called India a place of “splendor and rags…palaces and hovels…famine and pestilence.” A century later, David Brown and an award-winning team of reporters follow in Twain’s footsteps.
They find Twain’s land of “fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty” now faces enormous challenges in its quest for superpower status. Nuclear-armed and IT-driven, India is battling vast social inequalities as well as the consequences of the global financial crisis, and the November 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai.
What does this mean for India? For the United States? For the world?
Join David Brown for a one-hour, newscast-compatible public radio special that takes your listeners on a journey around the world’s most populous democracy: “India Rising.”
“India Rising”—produced by Simon Marks, Kristin McHugh, and Keith Porter—is a Stanley Foundation production in association with KQED Public Radio and KUT Austin.
