India The Bewildered Giant

The political climate of India today takes one 200 years back to the country that existed before the British came. It is as though, in the 23 years since Independence, the decades of British rule have been forgotten. India seems to have reverted to the old concept of small states, the people owing loyalty to their states rather than to the country. Can this huge country with its 550 million people remain the stronghold of democracy in Asia/ Tonight's film is an impression ot India as it now strikes Dom Moraes , the Indian-born poet and author. Dom Moraes left India 16 years ago and returned last year to see his own country through western eyes. Narrated by DEREK JONES Produced by ANTHONY DE LOTBINIERE
