India in four acts

Summary/Abstract: Under the pretext that the world is celebrating 100 years since Rabindranath Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, the study attempts to present an image of contemporary India. India represents a multiple paradox as it is simultaneously a millennium old civilization and a brand new state, both modern and obsolete, rich and poor, peaceful yet strongly armed. Ethnically diverse and full of conflicts, but also a stable, well-functioning democracy. Lead by strong women, but with still a long way to go until the women citizens themselves also accomplish real emancipation. India is the second most populated country of the world. Furthermore, India carries a large potential and, as such, it is a rising great power. Infact, India makes us wonder whether it may already be a great power. The paper is concluded with the stories of some notable Hungarian or Transylvanian personalities, whose Indian experiences impacted on them, hence having an influence on their social and/or cultural environment as well.
