Information on India
Hello, I am working on putting together a packet of information to give to a family who is traveling to India. They will be wanting to visit various Christian ministries while in India but also want to have a full grasp of both the Religion in India and also the general atmosphere (Political, Geographical etc.) Does anyone have any suggestions for books or films that would be helpful in preparing for this trip? Thank you.

Hello MPepper - Welcome to IndiaMike.
There are some good books recommendations in the following thread:
Books about Indian History
Can't think of any films off hand but I'm sure some others will chime in. Will they be travelling mainly in the North or South of India?

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. ~
