description: Significant stratification of Indian society persists, despite major government initiatives and laws.

Under the caste system, at least traditionally, jobs were hereditary, while choice of marriage partner was limited to one's own caste.

Udaipur, Maharaja's palace facade
description: India has been marked by significant contrasts in income. Here is an example of the Mughul period, when local princes [Rajas and Maharajas] ruled over their own principalities. Under the British, they maintained a quasi-independence, including the ability to tax. Only after independence were these ~565 such entities incorporated into India.

Private school students and motorized rickshaw
description: India has [broadly speaking] a two-class educational system. Some private schools and state-supported institutions of higher education [such as the Indian Institutes of Technology] achieve world standards. Students in such entities, at the primary and secondary levels, customarily wear uniform. By contrast, students in public schools have far less access to quality education, as the government has pursued an overall policy of educating the 'creamy layer' since Independence. [This, by the way, represents an interesting continuing with both colonial policy and basic Hindu social values.]

This view was taken on a Monday morning, when there is [relatively] little smog in the air. By the end of the week, it is practically impossible to see from one end of this grand avenue to the other. This picture was taken from in front of the Parliament Building, toward the Arch of India. When originally constructed, a gigantic statue of King George V stood in the center of the Arch. It has now been relegated to a field outside New Delhi, along with many other momentos from the British imperial period.

Seven deadly social sins
description: These formed the heart of Gandhi's social philosophy, and have been picked up by numerous popularizers (e.g. Stephen Covey in Principle Centered Leadership). Gandhi refined these during his life, noting that they stood beyond the Hindu culture in which he was raised.

Memorial to Mahatma Gandhi Delhi
description: Gandhi's ashes were scattered in the Ganges River, according to Hindu custom. This memorial to him is by the banks of one of the Ganges' tributaries. The nun in the background probably belongs to the 'Dalit' [formerly 'Untouchable'] group. About one person in 40 in India is Christian.

Guest house, University of Baroda (Vadodara)
description: The unkempt facade of this building shows the difficult state of higher education finance in India. The country as a whole, and its individual states, confront two basic dilemmas: 1] mass primary , secondary and tertiary education vs. cultivation of the elite [India has chosen the former] and 2] the balance of expenditures among the three levels [India has given heaviest weight to secondary and tertiary]. In comparative terms, this presents an extraordinary contrast with China, with which India is often compared.

Flag of India painted on door
description: Like many other countries, the flag of India displays a symbol and colors significant to it. The saffron refers to cremation, the preferred means of disposing of human corpses among Hindus (more than 80% of the country's population). The 24-point chakra in the center is a symbol of the renown emperor Asoka, who unified much of the country in the 3rd century BCE and set out boundary markers with this symbol on them.
