Happy Independence Day India
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action–
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore

Design What If the Most Populous Countries Had the Most Room?
For your amusement and (maybe) edification: This is what the world would look like if the countries with the biggest populations were moved to the countries with the largest geographical area. I, for one, have underestimated the populations of Pakistan and Vietnam. Also, while I have no problem with Canada, just for the sake of ethnic and linguistic diversity I like the idea of having India up there instead (though some Indians might find the climate takes some adjusting to).

Get to know the India tech scene in 59 quick slides
There is no better way to describe India’s tech and social media market other than “booming.” The country boasts of 100 million Internet users, a 25% increase over the past 12 months. It also has the second largest mobile subscriber base at 791 million, which continues to grow at a rate of 20 million every month.
Despite the huge figures of actual subscribers, the penetration rate of technology is still relatively low compared to the country’s population. It’s not an entirely bad thing because it also shows huge opportunities for the emerging market.
It wouldn’t take more than five minutes to learn more interesting facts on the digital, mobile, and social media industry in India with this quick slideshow presentation by Simon Kemp, Engagement Planner at BBH
