Summary: A country that is grappling with problems that development throws up, the India of <b>Swades</b> is colorful, heterogeneous and complex, with people of diverse cultures and attitudes. It is to this environment that Mohan Bhargava, a bright young scientist working as a project manager for NASA, returns to on a quest to find his childhood nanny. In his attempts to persuade Kaveriamma, the symbol to him of motherhood and family, to return to America with him, he gets drawn into the life of a village called Charanpur and finds himself searching for answers to the questions of progress and development that the village is facing. His curiosity is piqued by Gita, an admirable young woman teaching in the village primary school, who chooses to live here despite problems like casteism, prejudice and a lack of basic amenities.
