Isn't this suggestion hegemony in the disguise of customization and localization (knowingly or unknowingly). An interesting exercise would be to search for the name "Ram" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_name I am reminded of a documentary: Ram Ke Naam http://www.patwardhan.com/films/RamkeNam.htm Also the movie Chak De India, especially the scene of welcoming participants to the national camp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chak_De!_India Let us, the educated in India, try not be so intellectually pauper and shallow. _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
