Why India? That’s a good question. Choosing a foreign country to talk about is an interesting brainstorm because everyone has a different point of view. But, at the end, we chose India because, despite our ignorance of many things about that culture, we saw India as a combination of the best of both worlds.
We mean, India combines a rich, powerful and complex cultural legacy product of a millenarian history that includes various types of religions, and a significant place in the connection between Asia with Europe, but also, India represents an excellent example of the fusion with the Occidental cultures, that derivates of being one of the oldest colonies of the Great Britain.
But it’s not the only reason of what we thought it’s important to talk about India. The Indian economy is one of the called BRIC countries, which are supposed to be the new emergent markets in the future, it’s also the second most populated country in the world, with the plus that being an English-speaking country there’s not a big cultural breakout like the case of China.
India is also a growing centre of entertainment, in the best tradition of the big Broadway musicals and the glamour of Hollywood, Bollywood is today, one of the biggest producers of entertainment on the world, and with great influence on the Oriental countries.
India offers a great economy, a rich and provocative culture, and a political and social environment that leads to the vanguard of the future, that’s why is a good country to talk.
