Watch the following video: Ramachandra Guha Lectures on India's Fault Lines.

Students may experience varying amounts of time for this resource to load, depending on the speed of their internet connection. This video is 1 hour, 16 minutes, and 55 seconds in length. Students may begin watching at the 4:00 minute mark, and stop watching at the 38:20 mark.

Dr. Guha is a respected historian and writer based in Bangalore. Students should pay particular attention to Dr. Guha’s enumeration of fault lines and his argument about whether India should be a superpower.

What are the top three Indian fault lines, as discussed in the video? What do you think about Dr. Guha’s assertion that India cannot and should not become a world power? Why did you choose the three faults that you chose to discuss? Be sure to refer to the Indian political system to support your answer.

Then take it a step further. Do a little research on one or two of the “faults” Dr. Guha suggests in the video. In responding to your peers, discuss whether you think India can overcome those faults in the next few decades.
