Background: |
The Indus Valley civilization,
one of the oldest in the world, goes back at least 5,000 years. Aryan tribes
from the northwest invaded about 1500 B.C.; their merger with the earlier
inhabitants created the classical Indian culture. Arab incursions starting in
the 8th century and Turkish in 12th were followed by European traders beginning
in the late 15th century. By the 19th century, Britain had assumed political
control of virtually all Indian lands. Nonviolent resistance to British
colonialism under Mohandas GANDHI and Jawaharlal NEHRU led to independence in
1947. The subcontinent was divided into the secular state of India and the
smaller Muslim state of Pakistan. A third war between the two countries in 1971
resulted in East Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh.
Fundamental concerns in India include the ongoing dispute with Pakistan over
Kashmir, massive overpopulation, environmental degradation, extensive poverty,
and ethnic and religious strife, all this despite impressive gains in economic
investment and output. |

Economy - overview: |
India's economy
encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide
range of modern industries, and a multitude of support services. Overpopulation
severely handicaps the economy and about a quarter of the population is too poor
to be able to afford an adequate diet. Government controls have been reduced on
imports and foreign investment, and privatization of domestic output has
proceeded slowly. The economy has posted an excellent average growth rate of 6%
since 1990, reducing poverty by about 10 percentage points. India has large
numbers of well-educated people skilled in the English language; India is a
major exporter of software services and software workers. The poor monsoon of
mid-2002 has reduced agricultural output substantially. |

Telephone system: |
general
assessment: mediocre service; local and long distance service provided
throughout all regions of the country, with services primarily concentrated in
the urban areas; major objective is to continue to expand and modernize
long-distance network to keep pace with rapidly growing number of local
subscriber lines; steady improvement is taking place with the recent admission
of private and private-public investors, but, with telephone density at about
two for each 100 persons and a waiting list of over 2 million, demand for main
line telephone service will not be satisfied for a very long time
domestic: local service is provided by microwave radio relay and
coaxial cable, with open wire and obsolete electromechanical and manual
switchboard systems still in use in rural areas; starting in the 1980s, a
substantial amount of digital switch gear has been intro4duced for local and
long-distance service; long-distance traffic is carried mostly by coaxial cable
and low-capacity microwave radio relay; since 1985 significant trunk capacity
has been added in the form of fiber-optic cable and a domestic satellite system
with 254 earth stations; mobile cellular service is provided in four
metropolitan cities
international: satellite earth stations - 8
Intelsat (Indian Ocean) and 1 Inmarsat (Indian Ocean region); nine gateway
exchanges operating from Mumbai (Bombay), New Delhi, Kolkata (Calcutta), Chennai
(Madras), Jalandhar, Kanpur, Gaidhinagar, Hyderabad, and Ernakulam; 4 submarine
cables - LOCOM linking Chennai (Madras) to Penang; Indo-UAE-Gulf cable linking
Mumbai (Bombay) to Al Fujayrah, UAE; India-SEA-ME-WE-3, SEA-ME-WE-2 with landing
sites at Cochin and Mumbai (Bombay); Fiber-Optic Link Around the Globe (FLAG)
with landing site at Mumbai (Bombay) (2000) |
