Consumerism in India
The BBC World Service broadcasts nearly everywhere in the world from Bush House in London, Washington and Asia. Over the ast couple of years, it has also been made available to those who pay for it: the UK taxpayer! It is a treat - it broadcasts in the UK on various digital platforms -and this includes DAB digital radio and live streams over the internet.
In a series of documentaries looking at the Psychology of Consumerism, Mike Embley -one of the most familiar faces of BBC World, the 24hour news and information TV channel- travels to India and reports on recent trends in consumerism in India.
The documentary is to be broadcast on February 6 at various times (see below) and over the next seven days on www.bbcnews.com
I will upload the file and/or link to the broadcast next week.

Here, in the malls of this once-quiet town south of New Delhi, is where India's exploding consumerism meets its growing prosperity - and where just about every Indian stereotype is crushed beneath an endless variety of stuff.
