Synopsis
Hi-tech businesses are booming in India's growing cities. But in the countryside life goes on more or less as it has for centuries. Many people are yet to share in the new prosperity. This book explores the changes that are taking place, and talks to Indians about their hopes for the future as their country enters the twenty-first century. Includes maps and graphic panels showing statistics and fact boxes about size, flag, population, religion, currency and language.

Grade 2-4-These titles highlight elementary students and their families in their respective countries. They show major cities and the child's village or city on a full-page map, and then give a general overview of the land features and weather patterns. Through full-color photographs and direct quotes, readers are given a glimpse of the child's home life, school, and activities. Each title has a recipe, a one-page index, and useful addresses for embassies and offices of tourism. While the information is limited, these books can be combined with titles from the "Postcards from-" and "Food and Festivals" series (both RSVP) for country studies.
