This program is presented by Mona Vijaykar, director of India in Classrooms,(www.indiainclassrooms.org) a teacher assistance program, that is focused on bringing awareness and appreciation of Indian history and culture on par with that of western culture and history. Every week the listener will share Mona's experiences of 18 years as she attempted to bring deeper understanding about the Indian civilization to schools in America. In each episode,she will address different cultural issues that parents and second generation Indian Americans struggle with and she hopes that her insights will help provide the balance that most of us seek in a multicultural society.
Bollywood and Indian models have begun to rule the world of glamour, music and lifestyle everywhere and deserve credit for bridging the cultural gap between India and the west. But while young Indian Americans can emulate models on the ramp, the absence of role models in textbooks keeps things firmly in perspective....5000 years of Indian civilization has failed to produce a single teeny weeny individual worthy of mention alongside the galaxy of western intellectual giants!

Mona's latest podcast is a tribute to the next generation of Indosauruses, who will no longer be caught between worlds but will have the confidence to define the meaning of global citizens; The world celebrates 'a new beginning' as the face of the globe is sprayed with the vibrant colours of second generation Indians.

There is some distressing news..all of the contents on the GET INVOLVED page of the India in Classrooms' website has mysteriously disappeared perhaps due to a virus. Three days of hard labor is gone! Please bear with me as I rebuild the page as soon as possible.
