Dear Student,

Hi and thank you for using BrainMass. The solution below should get you started. In this particular problem, your professor is asking you to show that you understand social change. Since you did not indicate what 'Indian' refers to (the country, India or Native-American), I have shown you how to answer such a question from a general point but not being specific to a particular geographic (and thus, cultural) origin. I suggest this outline:

1. A little about your town/city of origin - provide some background info.
2. Changes over time - social issues - what are they? Has it intensified from the past or changed in the future?

The solution below should get you started. Good luck with your studies.

Sincerely,
