India’s Culture
• India’s tradition and heritage are
extremely important and are
woven into all parts of society
• Religion is an integral part of
society and a public affair
• Family values are considered
sacred
• Field hockey is the national sport.
However, cricket has become the
de facto national game
India Today
• An Emerging Economic Superpower
• 10th Largest Economy – Gross GDP
• 4th Largest Economy – PPP
• By 2050 Projected 3rd Largest Economy
Is India a Superpower?
• Forget the India you once knew: It is gone. Contemplate instead a
new, funky, self-confident, resurgent nation, embracing its role as an
emerging Asian superpower. This year, India's growth rate could
outstrip China's — and prove more sustainable. Indians are big in
global software development. India's core institutions, from an
independent judiciary and a feisty free press to a massive, nuclear
— but always apolitical — military, are anchored by roots more than
half a century old. There is mounting support for India to become a
permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. The
country's scientists plan to launch a moon probe. Then there is the
brightest jewel in India's crown: its firm adherence to democracy. Put
all this together and the surprise is not that India is gatecrashing the
elite superpower league, but that it has not happened earlier.
