It's a fascinating subcontinent, huge with great bio-diversity in quite diverse landscapes. Alas it's under pressure from climate change and especially already over a billion inhabitants, belonging to varied ethno-cultural traditions, mostly Hindu and related creeds, nowadays also associated with political nationalism. There is great disparity in terms of wealth and development. Mainly by train, Simon visits from west - to east coast Ahmedabad, Jain holy city Ujain, still badly polluted industrial disaster site Bhopal, a tiger jungle reserve, Ranchi in the northwestern Maoist and nationalistic insurgencies area, metropolis Calcutta and its sewage-drowned wetlands.
