For a special edition of Business Matters we look back on our best international coverage this year. We visit the Indian state of Punjab known as the "Land of Five Rivers". Punjab was split down the middle between Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan over 70 years ago. We hear about the economic ramifications of that division. We speak to Punjabi women who created an early rumbling of an organic food revolution. We meet the Punjabi film star and singer Babbu Maan, looking to challenge Bollywood and learn how a businessman in a small city in Punjab now provides badges and military insignia to servicemen and women across the globe.

We also travel to the biggest economy in South East Asia, Indonesia. The country is dealing with the aftermath of another natural disaster, after a tsunami hit the coast of Indonesia鈥檚 Sunda Strait. We hear how the residents of the capital city, Jakarta face some of the worst road congestion in the world. Also on the programme, could northern Jakarta be completely submerged by 2050? Half of the city is below sea level and it鈥檚 said to be sinking by as much as 15 cm a year in some parts, we explore the efforts behind preventing the worst.
