Outside the area of totality, a partial eclipse of the sun is visible for a much wider area, but still not world-wide. For example, the total solar eclipse that will occur on July 22, 2009 will begin in northern India north of Mumbai, and the path of totality will pass through Nepal, Tibet, China (passing over Shanghai) and across the Pacific Ocean nearly to South America, when the eclipse ends.

Where must an individual be to witness a solar eclipse?
If you have the option, you certainly want to travel a bit farther and observe a total solar eclipse, with the proper safety precautions for your eyes. If you are near the path of totality, you may be in a place that will be dimmed by the 'penumbra', which is another way of saying that you will be where the sun is partially and not totally covered by the moon. A person observing a total eclipse is in the 'umbra'. If there will be a solar eclipse somewhere near you, you should get information through the public media about whether or not you are in the path of totality. Don't pass up an opportunity to safely observe a total solar eclipse. They are beautiful.
