I was born in Kerala, India, and have to say the difference of how the economy was back in 2001 and what it is now as of 2011 (last I went) is completely different, I mean totally different, it feels like a Mini America of the early 1900s (not sure if its the best way to describe it)
Homegrown Keralians (lol nickname) , instead of becoming successors to family grown businesses or careers are off towards a path of college degree'd professions such as Engineering, Doctoral, etc.
While the jobs that their fathers and grandfathers maintained for generations are now being replaced by people from different parts of India who normally dont talk the language of the Providence and/or are replaced by people who are from neighboring nations such as China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc.
Cant say its a bad thing considering the fact all those old villages that were around 10+ years ago are all now bustling mini cities and on the way of becoming a major center for trade and etc.
But for the old folks they've been saying that they missed the usual partnerships that they've had with certain families who had certain businesses.
Of course everything I said above was according to the growth of the providence within India (I honestly have no idea how it is outside of the providence).
But from what I've heard from friends and relatives who have lived there, life has changed so dramatic that if you dont catch up (in terms of education and all) you are screwed (which is pretty much like how it is in most nations now).
Times have changed of course. Although it is true that India is becoming more and more like China, it might not become totally like China, but it will be a close second in terms of trade and economical practices which occur in the business world.
Now personally would I want to go back to India and live there as a permanent resident? Nope.
P.S. what @play4fun said is pretty much true.

yup india is tottally different but that is one of the problems
india isn't growing all at a time but rather few people gettoing ultra rich and the wealth gap.
when a country grows so fast,it also drops fast.this will happen when globalization collapses cause india's foundations are very bad.
