- The Tale of Two Indias
- From
- The Stanley Foundation
David Brown explores the tension of modern day India. He discovers the country is living up to its economic miracle status, but only for a narrow portion of the population. Brown profiles a thriving legal outsourcing entrepreneur in hi-tech Hyderabad and then travels 50 miles outside the booming city to spend the day with a local farmer trying to eke out a subsistence living in conditions only incrementally better than what one would find in some of the least developed countries in Africa.
David Brown'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.
