Why was supreme court not told that the prayers by women
at a sati temple are not prayers to die the same way, but
to remain sumangali for their life.

so on what basis (legal) could the SC waver ? If I
recall right, the SC does not hold moral positions,
unless it is forced to decide one way or the other
(i.e, in a devil-or-the deep-sea situation)...

   Can somebody clarify one point? Does the capitation fee ban apply to only
   the universities which receive UGC grants or does it apply to any
   educational institution? 

   Ramana

UGC grants do not come into picture. No State recognized educational
institution can charge capitation fee. i.e. If you own the neibourhood
World Institute of Computer Applications, you can charge Rs 10,009.99
for the diploma. You can also be sponsored by some University in Miami
or Los Angeles.

 i asked the Indian Consulate here. They told me that they give
a birth certificate on the basis of the passport. 

That costs about 19 Canadian $$. 


The form states that you should verify that such a birth cerificate
(based on passport) is acceptable to the immigration authorities.

They take only 4 days to give the certificate.

Hope this helps you.

laughing when I got to the bottom of your post. When I read your first paragraph,
I thought this Syed guy must have written something really hot to cause you to

GODA (= sweet) MASALA

I think this is it, I have written the Marathi words
where I have no idea of the translation.

 (I have never tried to make it, though I asked my mother to
write it out, and also bought all the ingredients.)

Dhania                500 gms.
Dry coconut (Copra)   1 coconut
Shahjira              10 gms
Cumin seeds           10 gms
Bay leaves            4
Dagadphool (a kind of fungus. I have seen it in Indian stores). 1 fistful
Masala elaichi        5 grams
Sesame seeds          100 gms
Asafoetida            3 grams
Dry red chillies      8 to 10 in number
Black pepper          1/2 teaspoon
Cloves                4
Cinnamon              3 - 4 sticks.

Dry roast all ingredients separately. (I think they use
a little oil, and preferably a cast iron pan). Mix everything.
Dry grind everything.

Use in combination with jaggery and tamarind. (Hint : Make amti !)

Good luck. Please e-mail me if you do try the above recipe.

I have one more question, in Nellore and surroundings marriages are
always performed in morning Muhurtha's around 8am or so. Some people
say it's convenient and some say it avoids the expenses (food). Anybody

New converts like this MAD MAN 

"Arindam Ghosh" should first 

(1) change his name to MUSLIM sounding name.
(2) try to encourage more conversions.
(3) TELL LIES to increase his religious following.

	Mr. Ghosh had time and again said that NO MORE RELIGIOUS articles
but moment after this promise this man immediately places a religious 
article.  There are two possibilites 
	(i) I am my self a mad man who does not understand him.
	OR
	(ii) THis fellow is more MUSLIM then the MUSLIMS.

you should better utilise it for selling Gita etc. and join Swami Vivek

If Mr. Ghosh is fanatic I will try to become more fanatic.

I would like to remind my (so called) friend that we are writting in the
Soc.culture.indian and I am positive that its not our culture to write
in such a indescent manner.
If you are still positive about your way of presentation no doubt we all
can fight about everybody's (again so called!) supremacy and there will
be a great neverending topic for the news group.
Anyways... its not "our" culture (I am positive about all GHATIS) to throw
muds on other but at the same time I am confident about all GHATIS that
we have great fighting spirit and we can get whatever we want..., at least
history proves this thing.
Hence don't just remember Chagan Bhujbal but also remember Shivaji,Tilak,
and off course if you have a littlebit knowledge, the political Guru of
Mahatma Gandhi viz. Gopal Krishna Gokhale who were also GHATIS!!!
Finally its request to all my friends who are reading this stuff(!) that
all of us are in the US (or for that matter any other foreign country) on
the passport of "Republic Of India" and not of Maharashtra, Gujarath...etc.
So please express your opinions as Indians and not as .....!
