Van Bihar tot Bangalore 2012-12-02Ended

Jelle Brandt Corstius is traveling through India. Whereas he previously attempted to explain Russia as an expert in the series From Moscow to Murmansk and From Moscow to Magadan, he is now trying to understand India as a stranger. The country has more poor people, 426 million, than the 26 poorest African countries combined. But there is also enormous wealth. Indian conglomerates are buying up Western companies. The biggest challenge for India is not to become more prosperous, but to distribute that prosperity more evenly. Brandt Corstius travels between two extremes across the country. From Bihar, located in the poor east, to Bangalore, the technological giant in the rich southwest.
