It is available from the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, and the address may be 
available from the Indian Consulate if possible.  There may also be the
Library in your University which may possibly have a copy. 

Another series of books that I could suggest,  is the Krishnavatara, by 
Kanhaiyalal Manecklal Munshi one of the Founders of the Bharatiya Vidya
Bhavan. This series is in 7 volumes, and detail the Mahabharata in good
lucid detail.

This might have stolen the thunder normally.

Gods and Moses and their addresses and their passages might
even pass the test if it were a fact - and not fiction. Mere
posting for another who said 'here's what I think, you may
reproduce' does not a God nor Moses make. (except perhaps
in flights of fancy)

Surprisingly, the vehemance and positions in "*everyday*"
occurrences of sexual harassment and it's "representativeness"
to all Indian women's experience does shake one's faith in
empiricism, if not one's womanhood. Perhaps India is doomed,
by its very difficulty in providing hard statistics one way
or the other.

I mean one could have worked with Forums Against Oppression of
Women or Stree Mukti Sanghatnas or Sahelis or any of those
several organizations and still not quite gleaned this hellish
view. Well, so much for voluntary effort or the Tata's
and SNDTs and Nirmala Niketans that conduct social sciences
Fat lot! They'd better close shop, I should think.

But all empiricism is not quite lost. One might hypothesize
a strong association between wanting to remain in the US
and attribution of full negatives to India (for both genders),
possibly a causal connection, though I woudn't wager on
the direction. Well...no one gets a Nobel Prize in
Sociology, anyway.

	I suggest that you consult an attorney before. The first amendment
still exists as of last time I looked. Fortunately you can't take appro-
priate action (whatever appropriate is to you) on the basis of what somebody
said or wrote. It's been tried before and it failed more than it has succeded.

	The posting, as disturbing as it was, does not provide grounds
for harassement (you didn't even have to read it..). At most, it could
infringe on some Usenet rule and the guy could have his access revoked.

	People should lighten up tough since most of the posts of this
'genre' are written by somebody breaking into someone else's account.

  Several good points raised by Ashish. 
 
  I would like to add that this definitely is a serious problem in India and
  no purpose will be served by trying to state that it is equally bad in the
  U.S. One need not feel guilty in acknowledging the sorry state of affairs
  regarding the treatment of women in India? Whether 30% or 50% or 90% (I 
  still wonder how anyone could be so sure?) of Indian men are culprits is not
  the point.The sad fact is that a large section of Indian women are victims
  of this harassment and something has to be done about it. The focus of the
  debate should be on how to eliminate this menace rather than anything else.
