It’s August and monsoon rains pour on Pune. This is the time for the annual English debating competition. In a world of IT booms and globalisation, English is increasingly becoming vital for success. We follow two of Kalmadi’s brightest pupils, Prem and Sahil, as they battle it out to be the top English-language debater in town. The judges have set an appropriate topic to debate in upwardly mobile Pune: “Is India Losing Its Identity in a Globalized World?” On the one hand it’s a story of youthful ambition and rivalry; on the other it’s about acquiring the skills to get on in this brave new world.

About Indian School:
Indian School is a fast-paced, observational documentary series that follows a remarkable year in one of the world’s fastest growing cities - Pune near Mumbai. Two of Pune’s schools take us into the world of India’s ‘rising generation’. The series gets inside the skin of India’s middle classes, exploring their dreams and anxieties in a world that seems to be changing every day.
Indian School focuses on the lives of pupils and teachers in two very different private schools:
Kalmadi Shamrao High School concentrates on academic results and core moral values.
Rewachand Bhojwani Academy is a liberal institution, with an unorthodox curriculum and a place for meditation.
