-+>SALIVAHANA samvatsaram 1914

The following calender(pa~caa~gam : `~' pronounced as nasal n) is the same for
all hindus all over the worl.

The only difference being in the number of the year(samvat).  The Gujarati's use the
Saaka which is widely published in all business and stockmarket based publications,
which everyone is quite familiar with.  Supposed to be started during the saka ruler of
sindh & gujarat in ancient india.

I wonder about the bengalis and others...
