This newsgroup, net.nlang.india, is being created from ut-sally because of
the many positive postings from here about it, due to the large Indian
student population.

It is being created as net.nlang.india and not net.india, in analogy
with net.nlang.celts and net.nlang.greek.  Its purpose is not so much
exploration of an exotic culture or locale by outsiders as communication
among Indians.  It is NOT just for the discussion of Indian languages.
Anything (1) falling under the general rubric of Indian culture or
(2) of special interest to the Indians on USENET is perfectly appropriate.
This would include, but not be limited to, music, cooking, sport, film,
politics, plane fares, or the latest gossip from the Indian community
abroad.  In addition, similar topics related to other South Asian
countries (Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc.) are quite welcome.
