¶ … grew up in India, for the most part. I come from a home where my mother was my primary influence. For many years, she was divorced, and as a result, she mostly had to raise me by herself. I say that I grew up in India for the most part, because in the summers, I spent my time in New Jersey. New Jersey is where my grandparents live. By my spending summertime with my grandparents, they were able to share some of the burden of raising me. That isn't to say that I was a burden to my mother, but raising a child on one's own is a large responsibility!
My interest in education and business as a profession was highly influenced by my mother's family. Most of her family is made up of working professionals, so I have been exposed to many different professions; what the possibilities are for a career, the academic and work experience required to be successful, and the determination and discipline that is required to excel. The more courses I took, the more my interest in business grew. I was fortunate to have my mother's family as a support system for many reasons, but one of those reasons was that I could discuss with them the things I was learning in my business courses. I was able to gain more insight into the professional world of business, and I learned that more business courses could greatly benefit me in my own desires to enter the field of business as a professional.
Armed with my interest in business and the conviction that more courses would further my interest, knowledge, and experience, I entered Delhi University as an undergraduate student in the business honors bachelor's degree program.

High tariffs have contributed to the United States $8 billion-plus trade imbalance with India (India, 2004). There have been numerous diplomatic and business lobbying efforts over the past several years to further open India's markets to American goods. And, to a certain degree, those efforts have achieved success. India has reduced tariffs on a number of product categories and has cut its basic ceiling tariff rate from 25% to 20%
This brought about significant change in India. As a result of the First Opium War, China had ceded Hong Kong and opened five more ports to the British. This allowed the British better access to the Chinese market, and it was opium, at first from India, that they sent to trade, in particular for in-demand products such as Chinese tea. In turn, profits from opium sales in China were
India's Population Challenges The United Nations (UN) reports that the world's population stood at about 6.5 billion in 2005, and is growing at about 1.2% each year. The UN projects that by 2050 there will be 9.1 billion people populating the planet, which as a stand-alone statistic is somewhat frightening, given that rapid growth is expected "in a group of 50 countries classified as the lease developed" (UN, 2005, p. 1).
A lack of any national system subjects individual citizens to the costs of the healthcare system on the whole. As Rao (2006) reports, "public expenditure on health care today is a dismal 0.9% of GDP; the overwhelming majority of health costs are paid by patients out of pocket. For many, even minor illnesses can cause big financial setbacks, and hospitalisation is out of the question." (Rao, 1) the poor

India was expected to be a responsible nonaligned nation by denouncing the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. It chose to play the role of a silent spectator and did not take any action. India invited the wrath of the United States as they refused to
