Hi Madhu,
WCIS? (What Can I Say?) ... there are assholes in every culture ...
['Course ... We tend to grow 'em a tad bigger over here!] ;-)
... but ... on a tangentially related topic ...
Can I bug you for a list of some worthwhile Indian authors/books worth
reading?
That might <hangs head here because he can't read anything else> have
decent English translations?
I might have a Bhagavad-Gita and/or a Kama Sutra laying around the house
- but that's probably the extent of my Indian collection. ... Ummm ...
assuming those *are* Indian, of course.

(Who once-in-a-while realizes he can tap on people by asking for book
references in order to get small glimmers into their cultural view of
the world.)
Hmmmm ... maybe I should bug Javier as well? ... and Henny? ... and
Elfur? ... and ....???

You once asked me where I got the impression that Americans didn't
understand other cultures. Well, I'm forwarding this message from a
person
on another mailing list. He sent me this when I told him not to refer to
India as "third world".
People like him are the proverbial rotten apple in the basket.
