After a period of escalating tension with neighbor Pakistan, wide-ranging peace talks are underway. Within India, there is an unprecedented mood of optimism about the future. At the same time, the nation wrestles with difficult questions about the place of secularism in society, the role it sees for itself globally and within Asia, and the reality that millions of Indians still live at the subsistence level.

  • the twists and turns of domestic politics
  • labor in the large informal sector
  • the cultural roots of Hindu nationalism
  • the foreign relations rollercoaster
  • the business of Bollywood
