Jonathan I have read with much amusement today your baiting the indian members of this thread. I remembered that I went to your ex-school in Mussorie in 1962 for a visit. Beautiful place. I went to Santinikitan (a university in Bengal) was the food in Mussorie as terrible as in my university? Just awful. Are you dyslexic by any chance? My wife teaches dyselxics. Maybe you just have read alot of eecummings. I do hope you have a chance to get off on Sankar Acharya, aka "Rational". He posts things like, "The whole system of "collectors" created by the British was basically to extort the Indian Kings". Sankar might possess some slight knowledge of economics but he knows absolutely nothing about Indian history. He doesn't even know that there weren't "collectors" in the the native states of India, which numbered approximately 567 in number in "British India". Some months ago Sankar posted his ideas on the British looting the diamonds of India... which, in any case, were all owned by the Nizam of Hyderabad and "unlootable". Sankar is kind of an academic babu. In his previous life he was a rural postal carrier with a grudge, a spindly physique and a anger at those that didn't bathe five times a day. I hope you piss on his lawn everday and his whole lawn is covered in brown spots. I used to think that being civil to people like Sankar was somehow rewarded. I have discovered they are oblivious to everyone else so why not do what makes you happiest? I used to live in Colaba in the early 60's before the hippies arrived in India. Wonderful place. Between times... most of the Indians on this thread haven't commented upon the new import duties of the new budget. The scaing back of foreign investment projects, etc. India is going backwards down the long greasy slope it has climbed with some difficulty in the last decade. I guess in the new India, with the bomb and all, Indians are just turning inward and there are going to be more Indians and then suddenly less Indians. Poof.
