I hereby disassocciate myself and the Bahai Faith from this insidious
vindictive and perfidious attempts on behalf of some foreign conspirators
to brazenly promote rasagulla. Rasagulla is the symbol of foreign oppression
promoted by the British and the Muslims to eliminate and contaminate Hindu
culture. It is never mentioned in the Ramayana and Mahabharata or the Vedas.
No trace of it can be found in the Bengali Culture prior to the British and
the Muslims. I hereby announce that all Rasogolla making factories be
demolished and converted to Sandesh making factories to assuage hurt feelings.
Sandesh has been the primary sweet for Bengalis as can clearly be seen from
the ecidences in Annadamangal by Bharatchandra (mediaval Bengali text) and
the recent painstaking research by Prof. Love Sandesh. It is also a valid
Sanskrit word.

This may be so in terms of GDP, but I was reading in a recent News India
that the World Bank ranks India as having the 10th largest industrial
economy.

It would be interesting for someone more familiar with economics to 
post how these ranks are figured out.  It seems to me that in the case
of India, simply looking at GDP in dollar figures doesn't represent
the true size of the economy.  This doesn't take into account for example
the HUGE black market economy that exists side by side with the "real"
economy.  I would venture to say that perhaps India is a special case
in this regard, since this black market is much more significant than
almost any other country.  So, to ommit this part of the economy, especially
in the case of India, makes the size of the economy seem smaller than
it is.  Another point, maybe someone can clear this up for me, is the
cost of living in India (which is low for basic goods at least).  
That is if GDP measures the amount of goods and services produced in 
dollars then is it fair, for example, if a small village farmer produces 
1 ton of rice and sells it for the equivalent of $1000 in India, but that 
same 1 ton of rice can be sold in the U.S. for $2000 (I just made of the 
figures, but you see what I'm getting at). Should the GDP be adjusted for 
this? Or is this the whole point of the GDP, meaning it already has the cost 
of living differences factored in?

Soc.culture newsgroups are usually reserved for individual countries. The last
time I checked, West Bengal was still a part of India :-)

It is hard for me to understand the motivation on your part for a pan-Bengali
newsgroup with all the religious proselytizing that will be involved and
which will soon degenerate into a my-religion-better-than-your-religion
type of flame war.

Besides the folks on SCB have a common language and unlike us, they are
perfectly content to use their newsgroup to discuss their culture. I do not
see why we cannot do the same within the confines of SCI without looking
upto them for support and/or participation. 

I for one, do NOT like the like the idea of a seperate ACB and a splintered
SCI that it must necessarily entail.
