Some background information on the villages in India

From Lynn: (Works for Highland Granite & served his mission in India)

The guys in this particular factory are from Orissa, and Bihar. Those are 2 different states in India. They are both very poor areas, and that's why these guys go to Chennai for work. Their families are actually from villages in these states and I'm sure you'll see on wikipedia, that most of the villages are in some pretty dense mountain and forest areas. I called our guy over there and he said that he would get more specific information about their home villages and that he would see who has wives, kids, etc. and maybe even try to get a picture. Google earth also has some decent resolution satellite shots of those states as well. I'll send along more info as it comes, but hopefully that gives you a start. Thanks.
