In this modern textile mill with Swiss machinery,
the emphasis is on efficiency and productivity.
It's highly automated, with relatively few workers.
The management takes full responsibility
for training its workers.
Unions don't exist.
These workers, still attached to the past by religion and caste,
have no class consciousness as yet.
Near Bombay, a brand-new factory builds jeeps under American license.
It was meant to produce 25 a day -
nothing for a country like India -
but it was reduced to 17 after army budget cuts.
India has insufficient cars.
It produced only 60,000 cars and trucks last year.
To obtain a car for private use,
you must be on a waiting list for seven to 10 years.
