Most people dream of a lavish wedding but the reality in India is that expensive wedding celebrations and heavy dowry demands end up making brides' lives miserable and ruining their families. The very concept of marriage has been turned into a transaction, with no value placed on the people or the relationship. But this can change, and it is up to girls and their families tosay NO to dowry, to insist on simple ceremonies and restore the sanctity of the wedding bond. The SMS Question which Aamir Khan asks in this episode is - ʺDo you think marriages have become a business transaction in our country today?ʺ

JS Parthibhan is a bank manager with a difference: he's interested in people, not numbers. Through micro loans, he helps villagers in rural areas develop a sense of entrepreneurship and self-respect. Travelling on his moped to isolated villages, Parthibhan has made it his mission to bring his bank to the people, not the other way around. For him, reforming the system should happen at the most basic level: face to face. "It is about more than just dealing with money. It is dealing with people, with their aspirations." These villagers need a loan for a new kiln. He educates them about money and talks them through the process of opening an account. "If I were a doctor I would care for the people coming to me the same way as I do now." In the past years, he's successfully backed countless similar ventures: "You can talk about financial crisis, but the importance is cultivating people. If you do that, everything falls in to the right place". Now here's a role model for bankers from Wall Street to Tokyo. Andrew Hinton

We follow the difficult lives of those who survive the practice. Twenty seven percent of Indians live below the poverty line and as a women, this economic status brings a life of enmity. A bride's parents must provide a dowry which often bankrupts the family. As a result female infanticide is a widespread tradition: "We accept the first girl, the second should be killed, then the third will be a son." But now the women are fighting back by forming self-help groups which offer a range of programmes from skills training, to saving and loan schemes. It's all in the hope that through giving women a more constructive role in society more girls will be saved. March 2012

The United States is mounting pressure on India to scale back its oil imports from Iran as part of Washington's campaign to force Tehran into abandoning its nuclear energy program. "There is adequate supply in the market for India to find adequate sources," US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata. This is while Indian Foreign Minister SM Krishna said on April 26 that India is bound by UN sanctions, but "unilateral sanctions imposed by countries or [a] group of countries shouldn't impact legitimate trade relations with Iran."

India today inducted the Russian-origin nuclear-powered submarine 'Nerpa' into the Navy, joining the elite league of nations having such sophisticated warships. Defence Minister AK Antony formally commissioned the Akula II class Nerpa, rechristened 'INS Chakra', into the Navy at the Ship Building Complex here. "INS Chakra will ensure security and sovereignty of the country," Antony said after commissioning the vessel. India has earlier leased and operated a Charlie Class Russian nuclear submarine from 1988 for training its personnel on such warships. With the induction of INS Chakra, India has joined the elite group of nations with nuclear-power submarines after a gap of two decades. With INS Chakra and the indigenous INS Arihant expected to start operational patrols soon, India will soon have two nuclear submarines guarding its vast maritime boundaries.

Since the last few years, the influence of India is visible everywhere in Europe. Its culture and way of life is increasingly leaving its impression on the daily lives of the people. In Rome, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and Madrid and many other European cities, it is possible to see India expressing itself through its Bollywood, cuisine, spirituality, yoga, ayurveda, classical dance and music and its frenetic colours. Books by Indian writers occupy prime positions in book shops and libraries in these countries. In fact this "Indian influence", despite the negligible presence of an Indian diaspora, has helped in shaping the kaleidoscopic culture that Europe is famous for. This film tries to explore how India's diverse and colourful culture is gently and quietly getting visible in countries that are not bound by common language, old historical or colonial ties, trying to find an answer to this question: Why is Indian culture getting popular in Europe? India's cultural, social, economic and geographical diversity and its ancient civilization, offers a significant and coherent alternative to Western cultural values. A country that is still in touch with its past, India has compelled the West to look at it afresh. There is renewed respect for its spiritual traditions and the fact that India is home to two of the oldest religions in the world - Hinduism and Buddhism. The film has attempted to capture impressionistically different manifestations of India's spirit in Europe. Through <b>...</b>

At the low price of $45, the world's cheapest computer tablet, made in India, is targeted mostly at students. In a country where laptops range from anywhere between $400 and $1000, and where the average income is much lower, the hope is that more people, particularly the country's youth, will have greater access to technology. In the next few months over 100000 such computers will be available in select universities. If successful, India may even sell it commercially, but experts say the design still has a long way to go.

It'll be a SUPER moon lit night tonight. Literally. The Moon will seem especially big and bright tonight since it will reach its closest spot to Earth at the same time as it is in its full phase. Astronomers have pinpointed the time as 0334 GMT on Sunday... that's 9.04 pm in India. The NASA website says the Super moon will appear 14 percent bigger in size and 30 percent brighter than other full moons of 2012.
