You must be joking. The U.S. is the biggest subsidizer of farmers in the 
whole world,  and it is penalizing other blocs for the purpose of having
its own interests protected.

Carla Hills is one more person like the permanent representative of the
U.S. in the United Nations, Jeanne Kirkpatrick.  All they could look at 
was the myopic policy adopted by the Govt.,  based on assumptions about
what the Govt. perceived.  That is why Carla Hills had to face the flak 
from Citibank and other multinationals operating in India.

Yet another confirmation of your rustic upbringing and peasant stock. Probably
your only claim to sophistication lies in posting a few limp-wristed one line
rejoinders written in a completely mangled version of the Queen's language. 
As for using the word "chamcha", I wouldn't have expected you to know it's
English equivalent and it provides further evidence ( if any was needed at all)
of your complete lack of intelligence. To probably save you further
embarrassment, I suggest that you think in terms of posting in your native 
Telegu.

Hi folks,

Can anyone in the US tell us how the attitude of US towards
India  will be under the new Clinton administration. Will
there be any change at all? Is this victory something that 
India can be happy about. I remember that the US-India ties were
better under the democratic President Carter.

US and Bill Clinton cannot and will not enforce all the "Putting People
First" promises with respect to international trade. Especailly not
know when his first priority is jumpstarting the economy. Tough talk
looks good on a campaign pamphlet.

Also, US ain't the only show in town for India. It can visit EC for
the matinee and Japan for the second show. 

On a related issue, India must liberralize its trade practises if it
is to have long term credibility and weight in the world markets.

A good analogy to India is a queening pawn in a Chess end game. Even
though it is a piddly fella, its potential is awesome. THose of us
who play chess can remember many games when such a pawn determines
the eventual outcome and the ferocious fights between the players
to either promote the pawn under heavy security or neutralize it.

       Release of Rice Inverse Transliterator Software

[This post is for Telugu nettors and possibly for developers of
software for other Indian languages.]

This is to announce the release of the Rice Inverse Transliterator
(rit), a free software package for processing text consisting of
Telugu and English.  This software is now in the public domain and is
accessible by anonymous ftp.

rit is a typesetting software with the following capabilities:

1. distinguishing English words from Telugu words.
2. translating some English words into Telugu.
3. transliterating some English words into Telugu.
4. correcting spellings in transliterated Telugu.

You will find this software useful if 

1. you post or read messages containing Telugu on s.c.i.t
2. you cannot write Telugu but can speak it
3. you write letters in Telugu (with English mixed)
4. you write stories/poems/.. in Telugu
5. you want a small on-line English-to-Telugu dictionary.

Briefly, this software takes text like

maa school ee city lo kallaa peddadi

and prints it in Telugu and English appropriately. It can also
translate "school" into "baDi" and "city" into "nagaram".

To use this software, you

1. need not know how to use LaTeX
2. need not have installed TeluguTeX
3. need not be a Unix expert.

We think this software uses ideas that can be used for developing
similar packages for other Indian languages. We invite developers of
software for other languages to examine this package.

To get the software, get by anonymous ftp "rit10tar.Z" in
"dua1:[dviln03.andhra]" directory from 134.129.123.1 (in binary mode).
For more details, see soc.culture.indian.telugu.

This software is free and is in the public domain, BUT COMES WITH NO
WARRANTY. This software is currently configured as a front end to
TeluguTeX, but you are *not* required to have installed TeluguTeX. You
are free to distribute rit software without any charge.

We hope this software will be useful to you.

Friends,
I had a few questions about cordless phones.
What is the net wisdom about taking a cordless phone
back to India? Are there any regulations about this?
What kind of models work well in India? Is it worth it?.
Is it better to buy the phone in Singapore?
I believe this question has been asked on the net 
before, but unfortunately I was not interested at the
time.
Please email your replies to me at badmal@tekig1.pen.tek.com
and I will summarize to the net if there is any interest.
