apnews reports:
	   NEW DELHI, India (AP) _ An Indian Airlines domestic flight
crashed on landing today, flipped upside down, broke apart and
caught fire. All 163 people aboard jumped to safety.
	   ``It was not only a wonder, it was my rebirth,'' said Prabir
Kumar Banerjee, who survived with a minor neck injury.
	   Six people were hospitalized after the crash at the Indira
Gandhi International Airport, which was shrouded in heavy fog, said
Harbans Kumar, the airport director.
	   The Russian-built Tu-154 jet was leased, along with a crew, from
Uzbek Airlines to break a month-old strike by more than 400 pilots
of the state-run Indian Airlines.
	   The flight from Hyderabad, 1,000 miles south of New Delhi, was
carrying 152 passengers, including two naturalized U.S. citizens,
and 11 crew members.
	   Madhav Rao Scindia, the civil aviation minister, resigned,
accepting moral responsibility for the crash. The government
grounded five other planes that also were leased from Uzbekistan.
	   The plane crashed shortly after 4 a.m. Officials said the pilot
was off course from the runway and hit a landing aid on the right
side of the airstrip.
	   The aircraft skidded on the slushy grass along the runway for
about 3,000 feet, veered into the asphalt and overturned, a senior
airline official said on condition of anonymity.
	   The right wing was sheared and was lying 100 yards from the
fuselage. The tail, where the engines were fixed, was torn and the
body was broken in two.
	   ``Everything happened in five to six seconds,'' said Birinder
Raj Singh, a government official.
	   ``We were hanging upside down with our seat belts,'' he said.
``People were screaming and some were praying.''
	   He said the passengers watched the plane breaking apart, but
they calmed down when the fuselage came to a halt on the runway.
	   ``We could see flashes of fire in the back. But people got a
hold of themselves and jumped out of the doors and the gaping holes
in the metal,'' he said.
	   Minutes after all the passengers were out, flames spread through
the plane, Singh said.
	   Indian Airlines' junior pilots have been on strike since Dec. 10
demanding higher pay. The crash is likely to put pressure on Indian
Airlines to settle the strike.
	   The pilots' union had said the leased aircraft were unsafe, and
accused the airline of putting passengers at risk in order to break
the strike. The airline said the planes underwent safety
inspections before they were used in India.

Subject: Report: U.S. insists Pakistan prove it's not backing terrorists


From UPI News on ClariNet:

	ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (UPI) -- The United States has given Pakistain 180
days to prove it is not promoting international terrorism, or else face
weapons and trade sanctions, a report in Islamabad said Saturday.
	Pakistani Foreign Secretary Shaharyar Khan told The News, an
independent newspaper, that U.S. Ambassador John Manjo delivered the
ultimatum Thursday.
	The newspaper said Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, Syeda
Abida Hussain, was called to the State Department the same day and told
of the warning by Arnold Kanter, the assistant secretary of state.
	If Pakistan cannot prove its innocence, it risks being placed on a
State Department list of terrorist states and could to face arms and
trade sanctions and other punitive actions, diplomatic sources said in
Islamabad.
	``The more important fact is that Pakistan is not on the list yet and
the Clinton administration will now decide upon the issue within the
next four months,'' Khan said.
	Washington has objected to Pakistan's support for Kashmiri insurgents
fighting for independence from India.
	Pakistan claims it provides only political and diplomatic support to
the fighters, and not material help, as India claims.
	But British Home Secretary Kenneth Clarke told a news conference in
Islamabad earlier this week he believed the Pakistani government was
also giving material support to the fighters.


*****************************************************************************

A caveat here: The new Defense Secretary-designate, Les Aspin has been a 
co-sponsor, with Dan Burton, of several anti-India measures. He might just
exert enough influence over the State dept. to stop this.

BURNSALLS STRIKE

-Asian women at Burnsalls, a metal finishing company in
Smethwick, have been on strike since June for better health and
safety, equal pay, and union rights. Conditions in the factory
were so bad that one worker suffered a miscarriage after her
request to be transferred to lighter duties was refused by
management.

The women have had strong community support with over 300 people
attending picket lines on Saturdays. On 28
November hundreds of people joined a march through Birmingham in
support of the strikers. The women are determined
to continue with their struggle. In the words of one striker,
Kuldip Dhaliwal, "We're not going to leave the picket line till
we win".

Strikers have faced intimidation from management and scab
workers. A striker's car was recently sprayed with acid.

	More on the subject in Tagore's "Nationalism" [McMillan]
and Rudolph Rocker's "Nationalism & Culture". Tagore differentiates
the nationalism in India, Japan, Europe & US. Rocker, a German anarchist 
who fled the Nazis describes in great detail the inception of Nationalism
in Europe. Both are excellent books. Tagore's book was a reference in 
Rocker's book.

Is it o.k. to buy a one way ticket for a person on visitor VISA.
He is considering as a cheaper alternative to buying a

If a one way ticket is bought, Will there be any problem at the
port of entry or any part of the journey. (in the Indian airport

Thanks for your suggestions.
