Same Language Subtitling (SLS) is the beginning of a literacy revolution in India, which is very exciting (and long overdue!). India has, in my opinion, the best and the worst examples of education, with some of the most brilliant people on the planet both now and historically. But at the same time, there are tens of millions of people who cannot read and write confidently to read a newspaper or fill out a form.

This includes children whose education has had to be cut short so they can work with their families and women who've been denied education in favor of marriage. SLS can improve the education levels of whole extended families, by transforming popular music TV programmes into 'Bollywood Karaoke'.

And it combines three, no four(!), of my passions: India, the Hindi Language, Bollywood and learning.

That's why I've decided to make Planet Read the official Social Enterprise partner for the India Travel Secrets website. That means 10% of any profit generated from this website will be donated to Planet Read's SLS projects in India.

Which means just by reading this site as you are and following any links you think might give you the information you're looking for, you too are contributing to improving the skills and therefore the life choices of India's poorer, disadvantaged communities. Yey!
