Leading film-makers are seeking to change the way we think about other countries. This is one of a powerful series of films to be shown on Pangea Day, May 10, "the day the world comes together through film". See all six anthems. Then visit http://www.pangeaday.org and register your screening for May 10. It's time to imagine a different world. Here, set against the backdrops of Nairobi city and the beautiful landscape of Uhuru Park (Maasai country), a Kenyan choir sings the Indian national anthem. The director has chosen the Indian anthem because Kenya is home to a sizeable Indian population (including Sikhs &Jains also) of approximately 2.5 million, most of them descendants of the East African Railways labourers who were brought over by the British during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the British colonialists ruled Kenya and the rest of the East African region.

Born Linda Viera Caballero on March 9, 1970, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, India grew up in a section of the South Bronx known as La Candela. Her parents moved there shortly after her birth, moving in with her grandmother, a world-wise, cigar-smoking woman who was a key influence in India's life. India, who was nicknamed such because of her fine facial features, began singing as a young girl and even took opera classes briefly. She attended grade school in the Bronx, and that's where she met Louie Vega, someone else who would become a key figure in her life, both as her producer as well as her husband.She subsequently signed a recording contract with Ralph Mercado's label, RMM Records, the leading New York salsa label of the era. Her first assignment with the label was an appearance at the June 1993 RMM all-star concert later released as Combinacion Perfecta (1996). The concert brought together many of New York salsa's living legends, such as Celia Cruz and Oscar d'León, and it took a moment to showcase RMM's two rising stars, Marc Anthony and India, who sang a duet, "Vivir Lo Nuestro." Released as a single in 1994, the song became a Top Ten hit and was subsequently included as a bonus track on India's album debut for RMM.Official Myspace page:http://www.myspace.com/india [ More Detail ]

November 1995Neelum is the bait for Delhi's 'Eve Teasers' - the men who stop their cars to proposition women for sex. She is also a police officer and the latest culprit is a middle-aged man who refuses to show remorse. In frustration Neelum slaps him and shouts abuse. The low status of India's women has an even more sinister face. Up to 5000 women are killed each year in disputes over dowries. Many are burnt to death by their husband's family in fake accidents. The motive is greed. Some women now find courage to complain to the police. A couple battles out their dowry disagreement before a police mediator. Others barely escape with their lives. Anita fled to a women's shelter after 4 years of beatings and death threats. Despite the problems traditions remain strong and 99% of marriages still involve a dowry. A candid insight into the continuing abuse inside Indian families. [ More Detail ]

A presentation after two weeks in India with Insead business school."The overstretched 19th century elephant lumbers toward anarchy, while the 21st century mind ebraces chaotic democracy. Yes 1 billion strong are rising to the mainstream, the brain drain reversed course, as the home country gains the valley's cream, of the top crop.But the taxis are stuck in traffic, and the governments are slow to change. And the youth consumers of nokia's futures are breathing pollution and more of the same.India Shining, as we walk to the beat, of people surving, with what they sell on the street. India Shiining, yes the weather is sweet. People are climbing, while the West is asleep." [ More Detail ]
