India Rising program featured in India Currents
India Currents: The Complete Indian American Magazine has published a feature article (Feb. 1, 2009) highlighting the upcoming Humanities West program about India.
"In keeping with its theme, “India Rising: Tradition Meets Modernity” is structured as a presentation on the colorful kaleidoscope that India presents: literature and cinema with rural village scenes competing with urban landscapes, Indian-American cultural fusion, and the seductive joys of Bollywood. The event explores present-day India, which is rooted in ancient themes that intermingle with contemporary modes of expression: Modern artists incorporating gods and legendary heroes in their work, musicians fusing jazz and Western classical with Indian traditional."

I thought the article did a great job of introducing Humanities West and describing the India Rising program. I don't know much about the readership of India Currents, but it would be very nice if the article inspired some readers to attend the program!
