Culture Cards™ Release in collaboration with ICES October 1 2006

Press release: PRWEB August 23, 2006.

Developed in India, this colorful and thought-provoking interactive game promises to be
challenging for Indians living inside and outside of Mumbai, where it was developed in the
city on which it is based.  It promises to also be interesting for anyone watching India and is
saying, "Who ARE these people?"

Mumbai, India is a place the world is hearing spoken of more and more in the news - yet
about whom the world knows little.  There is a need for us all to learn about India and what
makes it tick, really tick, and that means answering the question, "Who are India's people?"

Mumbai, India is a culture that is not just one but a multitude; a representation of all of India;
a place where cultural, religious, caste and economic differences separate people; a place
that is changing so quickly that individual cultures are being swallowed up - disappearing
with urbanization.  It is a place in need of preserving its cultural identities.  It is in need of
appreciating its own cultural distinctives.

Culture Cards™ promises to help answer the world's question of who Indian people are in t\a
thought-provoking way.\, and to help Indians appreciate their own culture and those of their
countrymen.  An excerpt from the back of the box:
