PLANET INDIA How the Fastest Growing Democracy Is Transforming America and the World

Will India reach its fullest potential, or will it be overcome by corruption and greed? This journey into India's heart explores its rich culture, glaring contradictions, and increasing global pressures. Covering issues such as education, agriculture, news media, entertainment, and local economies, Kamdar paints an optimistic picture for India but one permeated with hazards if both India and the world fail to act. Acronyms and a litany of names may overwhelm the listener, but they only reinforce the depth of Kamdar's research. Shelly Frasier reads in a calm, sincere voice that clearly pronounces the numerous foreign words found within. While her voice occasionally hints of fatigue, overall her delivery creates a strong narrative flow. L.E. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 07]
