Prabhu) Organization: NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA Lines: 17 My belief is that when s.c.indian was formed, the word indian referred to the entire South-Asian subcontinent. I wholeheartedly support the move to rename s.c.indian to s.c.south-asia. We can use this forum to discuss cultural matters pertaining to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. I would also like to see talk.politics.south-asia created so that all the sensitive political issues can be moved out of s.c.south-asia. Any takers? Dinesh Prabhu -- Dinesh K.
