host, Frank Willis; reporter, Blair Fraser

Television public affairs program hosted by Frank Willis. The second part of a documentary film on India, the social conditions and attitudes of this densely populated part of the world are explored. Blair Fraser visits and talks to many different people: Lloyd Grandi, a Montreal engineer working in the Kundah Dam; two twelve-year-old workers at the dam site; a follower of spiritual leaders Vinoba Bhave, Brahma Nand; Indian leader, Jayprakash Laravan; and a woman Raj Kumani Kaur, one of India's elder statesmen. Footage includes scenes of extreme poverty and poor living conditions; women fetching water from the village well and making dung cakes for fuel; children in school classrooms; and religious leader Vinoba Bhave walking through the crowds and appealing for donations of land for the poor. Among the issues commented on are the legal banning of the caste system and India's political future. <30mn>
