India Rising - Begins Oct. 29 on Listening Lounge

China isn't the only Asian country emerging as a world superpower. Its more populous neighbor to the south, India, has also been making economic and political inroads in recent years. It's a giant, complex, fascinating and increasingly important player on the world stage. And it's probably time you learned something about it. This five-part series from the BBC takes the pulse of India today. We explore its new wealth, its poorest rural region (Bihar), its infatuation with television and its future prospects. Tune in to the Listening Lounge for shows every Monday night at 7 p.m. beginning Monday, October 29.
