Description: Surveys geography, climate, agriculture, racial and social structure, religion and culture. Beginning scenes furnish a basic understanding of geography and topography of the great sub-continent of India. Describes incursions of many races and we see how racial and language differences, as well as religious differences, have affected the development of this nation. India's primitive agriculture, the caste system, village life, popular amusements and occupations of men and women bring into sharp focus the plight of India's great undernourished and overcrowded masses. In contrast we see the gracious, cultured life of a minority; the impact of Western civilization on India's cities, and advances along educational, medical and industrial fronts.
