1] Just a simple question.
   Does any body out in net land know the origins of the sari ?
   I mean almost every state state in India seems to claim it 
   for their own women, perhaps with the exception of the northern
   and north-eastern states.

   It may be of interest to some of you:

webster:
sa.ri or sa.ree \'sa:r-e-\ n [Hindi sa-ri-, fr. Skt s'a-ti-] : a garment of 
   Hindu women that consists of yards of lightweight cloth draped so that one 
   end forms a skirt and the other a head or shoulder covering

   Suggesting that sari derives from the sanskrit 'sati'.
   And the hindu garment part.
   Sounds strange.
   Any comments.


2] Inquiring minds want to know. :-)
   Stay Cool.

If this is true, it is a great news. Hopefully, it will serve some true  
purpose. It is high time for the WB govt. to realize that without proper  
infrastructure investment, the city and the state will die economically  
and all the rhetoric will come to vain.

In any case, this is a good news for Calcutta.

These days it has become a "fashion" for people to critisize everything
which is Indian. I had very good
experiences with the Indian embassy at San Fransisco atleast 3 or 4
times. Yes, it is sometimes very
hard to get through to them, but they were always courteous to me and
had finished up their work in the
time frame that they mentioned. People will not say anything when they
wait for hours in the heat or
extreme cold conditions waiting to get a US visa, but will complain for
every small thing in the world
which goes on at the Indian Embassy. 

I sometimes sympathise with the flight crew on Air India. Yes, there are
people who are rude and tend
to ignore passangers. But there are also passangers who think that just
because they bought an
Air India ticket, the flight crew is their private property. I've
personally witnessed on one
occasion the arrogant attitude of several passangers. 

My point is that we ought to look around us first before we start
bashing up others.

Have fun!

 This is NOT possible, because, iff GOI makes a protest (as we know Oil will

sangam.ncst.ernet.in 
acts as the international gateway for the domain .in 
All intnl Email is handled by this machine. Leased lines connect sangam
to Delhi, Bangalore, Madras and Pune. Also IIT, Bombay and NCST Juhu.
Sangam is in Nariman Point, Bombay.  IIT, Delhi has a leased line within
Delhi and NCST, Bangalore has a leased line within Bangalore.  So,
they behave almost as if they are directly on to sangam.

All other sites use dial-up. They either call sangam, or a site
connected by leased line to sangam.

>      *  Are the users in India expected to pay charges for mail they

The institutions pay a subscription of Rs one lakh per year to the Govt
of India. Smaller groups pay half of that and large groups pay double.

sangam is sending and receiving a constant stream of messages.  The
only batching is of dial-up mail. Some stations on the leased line do
not have facilities for 24 hour operation. So, their Email may get
delayed overnight because their computers are off.

If you are dealing with a node which has a leased line to sangam 
your Email would normally reach the target machine within one hour. 
If you are dealing with a machine which is one hop away by dial-up, 
it will take time depending upon their dial-up practice. Usually, 
dial-up is doen at night, so it may be a day's delay. 

The few guys who go thru two dial-up hops, I do not know what to say !
Tell them to change. 

Ramani

PS Good news. The link from sangam to uunet is expected to become 
a 64 kbps link within a month.

This is with reference to this crap about tamils. Some arsehole
started this with a post which looked like

"North Indians say that Tamils are idiots. Please respond and I will
post a summary".

To this many other idiots seem to have responded, and the original
time waster has actually gone on to acknowledge these posters and
thank them for their material. Finally it all degenerates in the 
grand SCI style into a Tamil vs Non-Tamil issue...The original
crack pot, in this case, does not seem to care about this and goes on
thanking, acknowledging and promising to summarize all this bull shit.
Please spare us, Mr. Idiot...I cannot even credit you with the
intelligence I first thought you had when I decided you started all this
maliciously. From your posts, it seems you actually think you are
doing the net a favour. Go get a life, and try to find something
better to do.

I am completely exasperated with you and all the other fools who

Dear Arindam, I don't think you replied to Raj. To simply categorize him
as someone under delusion is too simple-minded. Once you decided that Bahai 
faith can be explained, you should be willing to continue to explain as long
as the question is asked without any malice. Compare it with the multitude
of other threads with fanatical fervor. Further, Raj's questions are not very
trivial. They definitely merit a proper response.

Just for the record, India has signed more UN conventions (on human
