Review by Ken Uhde on Amazon.com
I have been looking for a good, quality video on India that would show what life is on the subcontinent for quite soemtime. Unfortunatley, what I had come across until this video was a myriad of freak shows that exploited some of India's more "exotic" faces and tried to present them as representing the whole of India. With Dicovery Atlas India, I have found a video that shows a realistic picture of the slums of Mumbai (both positive and negative). The video also delves into the changing caste system, a Hindu wedding, the economic boom, etc. I would recommend this video to anyone interested in seeing the real India. As a middle school teacher I have to say that D.A. India & China have been well worth the investment.
