Thank You!

Eric, Nick, and I would just like to thank you all who participated and signed up to follow our blog. We feel that your contributions really helped stimulate discussion on many of the topics we posted. This project was really a learning experience for all who were involved, not just us. But the fun does not need to end here. For those of you who are still interested, we will continue to add posts to keep this discussion flowing. Instead of posting direct questions that require some sort of knowledge or research, we have decided to instead post questions that make the blog less formal and more casual. Once again thanks for all you have done to make this project amazing!

India's banking system

the Indian banking system, and mostly the key government affiliated bank, The Royal Bank of India, has a been quite positive about the future prospects of India. In the October 27th announcement, the governor Dr. D. Subbarao, who acts much like Ben Bernanke in the US, sees GDP growth growing at 6 percent which is down a bit from previous estimates. This rate kicks the US hopeful rate, 1 percent, in the head. So even with the worst drought in 35 years in India, how has the economy responded differently to the global turn down then countries such as the US?

Shifting Cultural Traits

It can be said that technology can change the culture of a country. As something new is invented or introduced, it slowly assimilates and changes the culture for better or for worse. An example is how the introduction of the television in America put people inside their homes instead of on their front porches where they before would converse with neighbors. This has made Americans a less social and heavier people. How has an increase in technology and westernized customes affected Indian culture in the past half-century? How has India protected their identity?
