Q. Where can I find quality information for a cultural analysis?

Hiya,

The library has a fairly deep, if a little dtaed, collection on southern & southeast Asia.

For quick overview information, the CIA World Factbook is a good source - see CIA link below.

For more in-depth information, try Gale Virtual Reference Library - search for India and then limit to "Country Overview" articles - see GVRL link below.

Then there is the large collection of books on India, hit the worldCat link below to try a custom search for India and Culture. Make sure you check the box next to "Books" in the left column.
