India
We will look into India's PEGS systems based on British colonization and then how the systems of PEGS changed once they became independent.
Overview
What do you know about the world's largest democracy? Why did the British colonize this mega subcontinent? What were the effects? India is a colorful country with an equally colorful history. We will begin with seeing how India participates in the modern economy with its focus on outsourcing and then go back in time to see how India has evolved into the country it is today.
