Japanese Foreign minister Michio Watanabe urged Myanmar to make
stronger efforts to solve the problem of Rohingyas.

Two Shanti Bahini officers and two tribal women were killed in an
hourlong battle with the army. The battle erupted after some soldiers
ambushed a group of Shanti Bahini rebels. Three more rebels were
arrested. A Czechoslovak-made submachinegun, bullets and a radio
transmitter were seized.

Taiwan may ban workers from Thailand and begin importing workers from
Bangladesh, Burma and Vietnam to relieve its labor shortage. This was
in apparent retaliation to Thai demands for higher wages. Although the
Taiwanese government determines wages for foreign workers the thais
have demanded a 20 to 80% increase because they get only about half
that of local counterparts.

A Bangladesh military intelligence source said that Myanmar is using
the Rohingya crisis as an excuse to bolster its army. Myanmars forces
now number about 300,000 up from 180,000 in 1988. Estimates put
Myanmars military expenditure at about half of it's budget most of it
being used to buy arms from China.

India is expected to offer a package deal to Bangladesh for
utilization of gas to spur economic development of Bangladesh and West
Bengal and adjoining states. The package will comprise of three
components: import of gas from Bangladesh to West Bengal through a
pipe-line, extending this facility to tripura to transport surplus gas
from Tripura to West Bengal and allowing Bangladesh to lay a pipe-line
through tripura for carrying its own gas to Chittagong and Cox's
Bazar. 

Diarrhoea, respiratory problems, gastric and gynaecological diseases
claimed the lives of 166 rohingyas in different camps.

Bangladesh chief election commisioner will leave for Britain to
observe the upcoming electon.

The anti-smuggling drive was intensified leading to 107 new arrests,
1335 new cases and 25.1million taka worth of seized goods.

Anil and Shakil,

Don't you think your "discussion" has become repetitive and ought to be
moved to e-mail. Just a request.

Regarding your ping-pong match about who consititutes the Saudi minorities,
perhaps a quick check in the library would have been useful. In any case, I
took the trouble on your behalf, and here is the answer

Saudi Arabia:   Muslims (mostly Sunni) 98.8%, Christian 0.8%, Others 0.4%

From Britaanica Year Book, 1991.

Your "tit for tat" comments totally missed the point and represent the
very bigotted perspective that may well be the cause of many of the
problems.  What relevance does the situation in Saudi Arabia or Iran
have to the issues that were raised in the original article?  Did the
author say anything about other Islamic societies?  Why do you have to
bring them into this?  Is this not a classic example of pointing
fingers elsewhere to divert attention from the real issues?  Next time
you want to make "tit for tat" comments please do precisely that --
that would mean sticking to the topic on hand and addressing the
issues that the original article dealt with.  Snide remarks about
distant societies accomplish little.  Stick to the discussion
topic, and you might even get a reasonable response.

Would your experiment be designed to look at differences in the divorce
rates between Indians and Americans as function of race or environment or
both? Another way would be to have transplanted populations as well.
e.g. Americans living in India and vice versa. Starts getting complicated
from then on. Your point is well made though. Cause and effect versus
association.

"A musical talent seldom seen among artists of her age" was the way Arati 
Ankalikar was described at the time she won the first place award in a national
competition for Indian Classical Music in 1982. Since then, Arati has become 
one of the most sought after artists by the organizers of classical music 
programs and festivals all over India. 

With her fertile imagination, and disciplined and rigorous practice, Arati has
absorbed the richness of the three gharanas (Agra, Jaipur, and Gwalior) of 
singing khayals and has evolved an appealing style of her own. She is also 
impressive in rendering the light classical forms such as bhajan and thumri.

Yes, Asimov was the greatest of them all. One of his short stories, 
"Nightfall", is considered by many to be the best SciFi story ever written.

Is there a replacement for Asimov anywhere in this vast cosmos?
I doubt it very much.

AIR TRANSPORT; Indian Airlines incurs ''massive loss''

Press Trust of  India  news agency Delhi in English 0714 gmt 27 Mar 92

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
   Indian Airlines has suffered a ''massive loss'' of over 2.1bn rupees during
the financial year 1991-92, according a report submitted to the airlines board.
This is the heaviest loss suffered by Indian Airlines after it started to make a
profit in 1966-67. The company is suffering from a decrease in passenger
traffic, under-utilization of aircraft, and industrial relations problems.

It isn't the subject that people are concerned about, it is your action,
to post email without prior permission.

The default assumption should've been to keep them private and ask people
if their articles could be posted. This would've protected their privacy 
"by default."

        ^^^^^^^^^^
When permitted is more like it.

A good thought, especially if they didn't mind having their email posted.

No excuse for your inability to protect people's privacy or assuming that
it didn't matter.

        ^^^^^^
Maybe not.
