An interesting article last month in Scientific American, presents
some links between languages and demarcates southern Indian
languages as distinct language families; the article traces links
between North American Native-American-Indian languages to those in
Asia.  Not being a linguistic expert, all I can say is that this is
interesting from the point of view of how languages and civilization
may have spread in the recent past.

Now that the academic term is coming to a close, it seems that this frantic
Psych 101 student has suddenly realized, that throught all of his extra-
curricular alcoholic activities, he has forgotten to do simple library
research for a term paper, which is a large part of his grade.  In an 
effort to save embarrasment, and preserve his 1.3 GPA, he now wishes a quick
solution to a problem born out of his lack of foresight.  To write a quick
paper he wants SCI readers to send him my old posts (and I am flattered if
anyone has saved these literary pearls, although most of the morons here
would not recognize valued literature - e.g the ones who think the only
David Copperfield is a magician, and Uriah Heep is a rock band) and save
him the time of going to the library.  He will then use the standard
Psych 101 term (denial, schizophrenic, manic depressive) in his "enlightening"
report.

Do not condone the laziness of this student by helping him in any manner.
Perhaps if he fails his Psych course, that would be a much more valuable lesson.

You are on the money! Exit polls indicated that if Perot were not there
on the ballot, the people would have split evenly between Clinton and
Bush. So if you take Perot out, the popular vote would have been
52.5 - 47.5. Isn't that a plurality of the general vote, I ask.

So the Sikhs can't identify themselves with Punjab.  It has to have a special name 'Khalistan'.  Changing the name to Khalistan will change everything.  The place will be a heaven on Earth.  When million of people can identify with INDIA, what seems to be your problem????

Let's see, the INDIAN people have been paying for the infrastructure in place in Punjab for such a long time, so why should they expect any recompensation.

It was not the Government that ordered the riots, that just seems to be your paranoia.  If that was the case, why isn't there riots against the Kashmiri's or were the Sikhs just the chosen ones????  The only Sikhs who want Khalistan are the one's sitting in Western countries, far away from all that terrorism.

Hi,

I have ventured to read soc.culture.indian after a long time. I wanted
to ask the following: When ministers swear in, in whose name do they
swear? I know that the word can differ from person to person but I want
to know something on the lines of

1) Whether any specific Hindu god ever gets named.
2) Whether the only word used is "God" if the swearing in ceremony
   is in English.
3) Whether "Allah" is ever named.
4) How many times have people not invoked a god. (Sharad Pawar didn't,
   for example.)

I'd especially like to know about oaths in English and Hindi.

Thanks,
tushar

Swami Chinmayananda
 World-renowned authority on the scriptures of India, especially the
Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, Swami Chinmayananda is also a brilliant
speaker who knows how to make the ancient teachings come alive in the
modern age.

Vedanta
 Happiness, says Vedanta, does not lie outside you but within you. Through
rational analysis, Vedanta lifts the veil of ignorance to reveal the very
source of all happiness and fulfillment -- yourself. An understanding of
Vedanta leads you to appreciate the teachings of all the major religions 
of the world.

Topics
 Swami Chinmayananda addresses the following kinds of questions in his
talks:
 - Why God?
 - What is the Macrocosmic family?
 - Why Meditate?
 - What is the Secret of Success?
 - How do we reduce stress in our lives?
