In one, Ruhi Singh is a small-town girl competing in Bombay to win the Miss India pageant&#8211;a ticket to stardom in a country wild about beauty contests. In the other India, Prachi Trivedi is the young, militant leader of a fundamentalist Hindu camp for girls, where she preaches violent resistance to Western culture, Christianity and Islam. Moving between these divergent realities, the film creates a lively, provocative portrait of the world&#8217;s largest democracy at a critical transitional moment&#8211;and of two women who hope to shape its future. Winner, World Documentary Competition Award, 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. A co-presentation with the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The entire film can be watched currently on PBS online <a href=http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/pov\/worldbeforeher\/full.php#.UkHX_hZORUM>here<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just last week saw this very interesting documentary on Indian women and the dichotomy of culture in society, on PBS&#8217;s POV series: From the blurb: The World Before Her is a tale of two Indias.
