This teaching booklet on India is one in a series of four, developed within the framework of the Associated Schools Project of UNESCO with a view to promoting education for international understanding. The purpose is to enable students to learn more about the lifestyles of their peers in India--their school and family life, aspects of their cultural past, their preferences with regard to food, dress, literature, music, as well as their future aspirations. Divided into six chapters, chapter 1 presents "India: A Geographical Profile." Chapter 2, "Come Visit Our Country," contains a brief itinerary. Chapter 3, "Our Cultural Past," focuses on the ethnic composition of India's population and changes in political and economic life. Chapter 4 presents "Our Culture Today." In chapter 5,"Who Are We?" family, school, and community life are described. Chapter 6 examines "World Concerns" and considers the future of India. (EH)
