India: Population and Resources

Dramatic changes over the past 20 years have created a tech-savvy Indian middle class. This program details the economic strength of the “new” India, its ongoing problems of unemployment and poverty, and how these issues are linked to overpopulation. Outlining the country’s 5,000-year history, the video focuses on the southern city of Bangalore, also known as the Silicon Valley of India, and the daily influx of rural job-seekers it faces. Conversations with women in prominent high-tech positions emphasize changing attitudes toward gender roles. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide—including geographical background information, extension activities, vocabulary handouts, and more—is available online. Correlates to National Geography Standards. (25 minutes)
