  TIGER VERSUS DRAGON    
Can Asia sustain two vast, growing economies? In this documentary produced for the BBC World Service, Mukul Devichand examines the challenges India and China both face as they prepare to take on the world and each other.

  
FIRST HALF


China has already established itself as a global economic superpower. India is well on its way. But as each nation tries to showcase its growing status outside its borders, residents inside may not always reap the benefits. The BBC’s Mukul Devichand questions which country does more for its ordinary people.

 
SECOND HALF


The state of relations between India and China is, to say the least, delicate. Together, the two rising Asian giants share nearly half of the world's population. India is the world's largest democracy. China is the world’s most-populous nation; India is second. Mukul Devichand examines military build-ups and fears of a coming Asian cold war between these two neighbors.
