India

India is the most populated country in the world with over 1 billion people, overtaking China in 2023, and has a complex system of religious beliefs and beautiful cultural traditions. The country suffers from overpopulation, corruption, and pollution. While certain sectors of the economy are developing quickly, the majority of the population will not benefit from these advancements. The handicraft sector is a major source of income for rural communities, employing over 6 million people, including many women.
