Why India?
India is a country rich in history, cultural diversity, natural resources, and varied environments. While India remains deeply traditional in some ways, such as religions and culture, it is also an emerging nation highly modernized in many parts of society, the economy, science and technology and in education. This tremendous contrast between the old world and new world makes India a fascinating case study.
