Since 1998, India has held two national elections, begun the second phase of economic reforms, and grown in global stature as the intellectual training ground for Silicon Valley. With their new prominence, Indian Americans are increasingly effecting change in India through their financial and intellectual clout. In another sphere, India now occupies a special place in the literary world as Indian writers in English gain in prominence and numbers. India has also found itself the new ground zero of the next AIDS crisis. And reciprical state visits by President Clinton and India's Prime Minister Vajpayee have ushered in a new spirit of Indo-U.S. cooperation. This edition of India Briefing covers these most recent political, economic, social, and cultural developments in India from 1998 through the end of 2000.
