February 7, 2007: A Conversation With Mira Kamdar, Little Theater, Mumbai

Planet India is a comprehensive view of India and the cultural and economic impact it is having, and will continue to have, on the United States and the world. With dozens of interviews of people such as Mukesh Ambani, head of India's largest company, Reliance; Mira Nair, director of Monsoon Wedding, Vanity Fair and the Namesake; and Deepak Chopra, in-depth research, a wealth of recent data and provocative analysis, Mira Kamdar investigates the challenge before India: the country's growing gap between rich and poor, the AIDS crisis, the degradation of the environment, while saluting India's tremendous vitality and the opportunities this Asian democracy has to shape its own and, perhaps, all of our destinies.
