I was interested in the name of the Ambassador-designate.  
Ravindranath Tagore was the first Asian to win the Nobel Prize (In
literature).  It is gratifying to note that someone, be it the author
of a pulp S-F novel, is recognising the presence of Indians (people
of the Indian subcontinent) in the world.  I have often joked with
friends that in the event of a nuclear holocaust, the major ethnic
survivors would be Indian (as they have spread to every nation in the
world.....modern cultural colonisation).  Of course this was  before
I proposed this to a friend of Chinese extraction who promptly claimed
that the Chinese were more numerous than Indians (I had to concede the
point).

For the record, Jews in India have never been persecuted.  This is
however, due more to the fact that the Hindus and the Muslims (There
is no such word as Moslem..) were going at each other too hard to
bother with the other minorities.  This has given us a (to my mind
unjustified) reputation for tolerance of minorities.

Anyhow, enjoy....
