Questions Related To India-forum Website

[quote name='Kaushal' date='Nov 3 2003, 10:25 PM'] The problem is many of us have been either unceremoniously kicked out of that forum or have been treated very shabbily. To state the obvious is not to bash, but to point out something we hope will not be repeated in the future. I trust there is nothing that i have said that can be construed  as bashing. As i have said in private communications on this topic, one cannot get angry with an old friend,and i do consider BR to be an old friend, although there may be disappointment with his behavior.

I watched with utter disbelief the ugly episode that took place when HH was kicked out. It was totally uncalled for (especially the comment made by one of the BRADmins that he knows who HH really is). Pardon me for using strong laguage but that is nothing short of sheer bigotry. What is interesting is that just yesterday, a lot of dormant threads under SIRF at BRF have been "up"ped (and coincidenatally we had Shiv joining I-F). May be the decision to close down SIRF at BRF did not find wide support among the admins there. In any case, let us not dwell on what is past.



Also, please be assured that there was no bashing by you. You are one of my model posters on the net fora. You are Drona for my Ekalavya, so to speak.



Now since the occasion presents itself, I woudl like to repeat my request in one of my previous posts.



I would like to post some material and my thoughts on books (related to Indic culture - but more specifically to Indic/Sanskrit literature) I am currently reading/planning to read.

Should I post the material on the book review under Indian Culture or does it make sense to change the heading of "Indian Hiistory and Culture" to "Indian History, Culture, and Literature" and have a sub-topic specifically for "Indic Languages and Literature" with more subsubtopics for Sanskrit lit., Vedas, Upanishads, and the Epics as literary works, English writers from the subcontinent (eg. Raja Rao, R.K. Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand, Naipaul etc.). Rytha indicated that you or HH should make the decision.



Also, if you remember Romilla Thapar thread on BRF, you indicated that we might need a Linguistics thread. I-F seems to be the perfect place for such a discussion as well.
