"You may not be aware of it, living in the United States, but your world is increasingly being shaped by India."
This is how CNN.com presents the current issue (to hit stands on June 26th 2006) of Time. This might probably be the first time when ordinary Americans will be made aware of the tremendous effect India has made world over. I guess this might even surprise who have known me as a strong India basher. But hey, I'm a born citizen of this country, and spending 25 years in this country gives me the right to criticize some of the things to my fellow countrymen (ahem countryperson).
Though the cover story: INDIA INC. of the issue of June 26, 2006 Vol. 167 No. 25 s focused on Bombay (yeah Americans haven't gotten used to Mumbai, which is a good thing IMHO) and how it is driving the economy of India. The issue contains 4 India specific articles in total. Including one on Ratan Tata and the newly constructed $1 Billion car factory of Hyundai Motors in Chennai (Looks like time stopped for Time in this case too, as Michael Schuman preferred to go with Madras instead of Chennai).
Read the complete article on CNN.com.
Oh! In case you tuned in late to CNN.com here's a screenie of the Time cover on CNN.com as on June 18th.
