  1. Hello, World!!

  2. A review of the film: Rang De Basanti • Oscar nominated Rang de Basanti opens with Sue, a young London based film-maker, going to India to shoot a film about the Indian revolutionaries her grandfather wrote about in his diary fifty years before.She flies to Delhi and tries to find five young people to star in her film. But no-one is interested. To them the idea of being a revolutionary, and giving up your life for your beliefs, is the stuff text-books are made of. They would rather shop, socialise and party. Then, something happens, and the five embark on a journey that will change their lives…This is not a run-of-the-mill type of film. It tells us so much about the ups and downs of being a young Indian today. Thrilling, and not to be missed!!

  3. What do you think? • What parts of the clip did you recognise from the review? What did you like about it? Can you see any evidence of globalisation in it? What do you think ‘A generation awakens’ means at the start of the clip?

  4. Learning objectives • What did you learn last lesson? • To describe how ‘India is awakening to the world’ • To explain why people fell differently about India’s wealth • To recognise what it is like to be poor in India

  5. In pairs... • In pairs I want you to read each of the interviews and decide • Who is most excited about the new wealth in India? • Who is the least excited? • Plot each person onto the Continuum and give reasons in the boxes. There are no right answers • You need to justify your choices.

  6. Further questions • Is it really possible to measure people’s excitement? What else could we measure from these interviews? Do you think there’s a link between wealth and excitement – are the richer people more excited about India’s future?Are there any other links?
