Although India is roughly a third the size of the US, or everything east of the Mississippi, its ambition is nothing less than global in scale.  Though, its tone can sometimes be misleading.  Keith Porter reads between the lines of India’s global ambitions, or maybe "listening" is the right word.

 

Keith Porter's report, released in March 2009, is part of the documentary special "India Rising" produced by the Stanley Foundation, KQED Public Radio, and KUT Austin.
