More Information
India has the world's second largest population - over a billion people - and a rich cultural history that stretches back more than 4000 years. Today, the country combines ancient traditions with modern high-tech industries. Although classed as a developing country, India is changing rapidly. It is already a major industrial nation, exporting manufactured goods around the world, and it has a large and growing electronics industry. However, economic development is attracting more and more people to the cities, which are struggling to cope. The country faces many challenges in its quest to become a modern industrial nation.
