This just goes to show that the so-called liberalization is nothing but a 
blanket license for foreign companies to gain access to the huge Indian
market. I seriously think that liberalization is necessary, not in allowing
foreign companies, but to promote local entrepreneurs and privatization, the
very thing the opposition is asking for in the Lok Sabha. Now where do you 
think those entrepreneurs are going to come from? The IIT's are undoubtedly
a reservoir of talent, as are the REC's and other engg colleges. As can be
seen from the performance of the Indian students here, intelligence is certainly
not something which is lacking. To beat the west at their own game is possible
only if enough R&D is done indigenously. Everyone knows the success of the 
missile and the space program, but theu are just showcases. At the level of
industry, there is hardly any entrepreneural skill at all. A bunch of guys
from here could easily buy a few computers and with corresponding Govt financing
start a prosperous NIIT like institution. God knows the Indian computer
industry faces a huge shortage of competent personnel.
Introspection may be painful to many of us, but as the eucated, I feel we have
a responsibility towards increasing the prosperity of our country. If everyone
thinks someone else will do it, then no one will. I do not know how many people
have the guts like Sam Pitroda, but I would think by considering such ideas, I
may make a beginning.

PS 

I got a few petulant notes from some IIT guys who accused me of mouthing 
"patriotic cliches". I have been painted as a traitor to the time honored 
tradition of IIT guys seeking US pastures :-). All I have to say is wake up

Consider the market capitalisation of TELCO e.g.
Earlier, that number represented how much the market was willing to
pay to own TELCO, given a certain perception of it's future stream
of profits and capital appreciation etc.

The new information which has unfolded in the last year tells us that
being in a strong position in the engineering industry in India is
worth a lot more than it used to be.  So now TELCO is valued much more
than it used to be.

If you are saying: that increase cannot be repeated, you are
absolutely right.  It's unlikely that some new decisions by the govt.
can improve the outlook for TELCO to the extent that the last one year
already has.

If you are saying: the increases of the last year must be lost in a
crash, I don't agree.  Unless the country relapses into socialism, (in
which case TELCO would again be worth a lot less), these increases are
not going to be lost.

	>I feel your criticism of these market indices is harsh because 
	>(i) there really can be no index far superior to the DJIA or the ETI
No.  People who do finance universally dump on the DJ index.
It is only for the consumption by viewers of evening news.
There is absolutely no analytically sound way to interpret the DJ index,
apart from hoping it's correlated with the sensible index (which is
not always the case).

People who take finance seriously think in terms of value weighted
indexes, e.g. the S&P 500.  Even better are value weighted indexes
covering every traded stock.

Look at our problem for example (the IGF).  What matters the most to
the IGF is a value weighted index reflecting the stocks which the
IGF is made of.  A DJ type index would be terrible.

None of this would matter across a major crash or boom.  If anything
this correlatedness of all stocks (and hence any stupid linear
combination of any stocks) to the market index is the core of Sharpe's
insight.  But if you wish to look closely, don't use indexes like
the DJ or the ET.

I for one think this is a wonderful idea.  I read s.c.i mainly to find
articles related to India's Sanskrit cultural heritage, and it's hard
sometimes to step around the political arguments and "looking for
Rambabu" threads which seem to fill up the group.

Really?  Now, please do tell us which passages in the Qur'an were used
for this purpose.  Funny how child molestation is a problem in this
country.  Would you conclude from that that it is related to the
religions practiced in this country?

How do you explain the fact that the same play was banned in Kerala.
What religion is dominant in Kerala, and why was it banned?

You might want to try being honest with yourself before you get

	 VOCAL CONCERT BY TEWARI ON OCTOBER 3, 1992

     Laxmi Ganesh Tewari, exponent of  Hindustani  classical
vocal  music  will  be performing at Fremont Hindu Temple on
Saturday October 3, 1992.

     Dr. Tewari	will be	accompanied by Ravi Gutala on tabla,
and Abhijit Tulpule on harmonium.  The concert will begin at
7 p.m.	Donations is $7	per person general and $5  for	stu-
dents and seniors.

     Tewari received extensive training	in Hindustani  clas-
sical  vocal  music  in	 Banaras Hindu University, under the
guidance of renowned Indian  artistes  Dr.  Lalmani  Mishra,
Pandit	Madhav	Vaman  Thakar,	and  Professor B. R. Deodar.
Weslayan University brought Tewari to the United  States  in
1968  to  teach	 Indian	 music and to study ethnomusicology.
After receiving	his Ph.D. in ethnomusicology in	1974, Tewari
joined	Sonama	State  University.   In	 1987,	Sonama State
University honored him with Outstanding	Professor Award.  He
has taught summer school at Dartmouth College, the Manhatten
School of Music, and Ali Akbar	College	 of  Music.   As  an
accomplished performer,	teacher, and scholar, Dr. Tewari has
taken great interest in	studying and collecting	 folk  music
of  India and Turkey.  Recently, he visited India to conduct
a research on epic song	tradition, known as  the  Alha.	  He
has produced three records from	his field recordings:

	Turkish	Village	Music (Nonesuch)
	Folk Music of India: Uttar Pradesh (Lyrichord)
	Nectar of the Moon: Vichitra Vina Music	of Northern India (Nonesuch).


     His own album is available	on the Alma-Madina label.

     Ravi Gutala is among the most promising of	the emerging
percussionists	in  the	 Bay  Area.  He	received his initial
training from P. Anjaiah of All	India Radio, Hyderabad,	 and
is  currently  studying	 with  Swapan Chaudhuri	at Ali Akbar
College.  He has accompanied artistes such as Lakshmi  Shan-
kar, L.	Subramaniam, Rajiv Taranath, and Shweta	Jhaveri.

     A student of Rajabhau Abhyankar,  Abhijit	Tulpule	 has
been  playing  the  harmonium since the	age of four.  In the
Bay Area, he drew attention with his debut in September	1989
accompanying  Pandit  Jasraj.  Since then he has played	with
leading	artistes such as Gokulotsavji  Maharaj,	 and  Shweta
Jhaveri.

     Tewari conducts classes in	San Jose.  For more informa-
tion please call (408) 238-1870.  For more information about
the concert please call	(510) 659-1935.
