		Given the long colonial domination of India by Britain and the traumatic emergence of the modern independent states of the Indian Subcontinent, it is hardly surprising that the question of earlier relations between India and Greece - a western ‘colonialist power’ - has been an extremely emotive one.
		This paper will consider the development of Indo-Greek studies, with special reference to the Indo-Greek states of the north-western Indian Subcontinent from the third century BC to first century AD.
		Both sides made a clear identification between the ancient Greeks and the modern British (each perceived as representatives of 'European' culture and colonialism), an identification which has continued to be made without more careful consideration of the evidence.

		Although Oliver Stone's 19-year-old son Sean has shot the behind-the-scenes documentary for Alexander and while the video package is likely to include an examination of the actual life of the Greek conqueror and other informative material, Stone himself has indicated that he is not at all enthusiastic about the coming of age of DVDs.

		"Yunan" is the Modern Persian word for "Greek." I originally found that out from an Iranian exchange professor I knew back in the early 1970's when the U.S. and Iran had better relations.
		I've been puzzled why the Indians, Burmese etc care what western publications call Bombay, Rangoon etc. Even more puzzling is that western publications went along with this.
		However, there is no agreement on which Algonkian Indian language the word came from or what it originally meant.

	The Coconut Palm: Symbolic Tree of the Tropics! Read about the history and growing habits of this most familiar & picturesque tropical palm!
		Although the Indian influence appears to have waned somewhat after the times of the Periplus, trade relations between India and East Africa continued to exist until well after the arrival of the Portuguese.
		It is thought that this town derives its name from the Greek or Arab verb " to sew" (Ravenstein 1898, Schoff 1912), because the local boats were sewn together with fibers.
		The first written reference to the coconut palm in East Africa is thought to be in the "Periplus of the Erythraean Sea," written about A.D. The Periplus mentioned that the town of Rhapta, believed to have been located somewhere on the coast of present day Tanzania, traded in coconuts (Schoff 1912).

		After that, the sources lose interest in Persia until the late 5th century, when Persian gold begins to play an important role in Greek politics (9-14).
		In Greece, apart from Achaemenid coinage, the most interesting goods may have been textiles, which played a decisive role in the transfer and spread of motives (fragments of Chinese silk and Indian cotton were found in Attic graves).
		The study is divided into two major parts: part I (3-133) deals with the "Spheres of Contact" and establishes the possibilities and the extent of relations between Athenians and Persians; part II, "Perserie" (135-258), examines the complex Athenian response -- both of the state and of individuals -- to Persian culture.

		Although relations between Greek and Indian civilization existed for over a millennium from the mid-first millennium BC to mid-first millennium AD, interaction was particularly intense during the Hellenistic Period.
		Unlike other periods of antiquity, when contact between these two civilizations was primarily indirect, being primarily the result of long distance trade, Greeks lived in the subcontinent in substantial numbers from the reign of Alexander the Great to at least the first century BC as soldiers, settlers, diplomats, traders, and even rulers of kingdoms.
		The present volume deals with the period between Alexander's invasion of India in the 320s BC and the beginning of the Principate.

	The Souls Of Black Folk
		Du Bois says that Blacks in America are a forgotten people, "after the Egyptian and Indian, the Greek and Roman, the Teuton and Mongolian, the Negro is a sort of seventh son, born with a veil.
		With their humanity hidden behind "the veil" black and white relations at the time of the writing of the Souls of Black Folk were marked by violence: draft riots in New York during the Civil War, riots following the reconstruction period, the lynching of Blacks, and the formation of the Ku Klux Klan.
		The veil in Souls of Black Folk is a metaphor that connotes the invisibility of black America, the separation between whites and blacks, and the obstacles that blacks face in gaining self-consciousness in a racist society.

	Examples of Integrated, Multi-set Concept Schemes: Tonal patterns of Rg Veda poetry
		The numbers Rgvedic man cared about define alternate tunings for the musical scale. The hymns describe the numbers poetically, distinguish "sets" by classes of gods and demons, and portray tonal and arithmetical relations with graphic sexual and spatial metaphor. Vedic concerns were with those invariances which became the focus of attention in Greek tuning theory.
		The Rg Veda is a collection of hymns which constitutes the earliest literary document of the Indian tradition, which is believed to have been composed between 2,500 and 1,500 BC.
		Ten-ness dominates the arithmetic of the Rg Veda in ways never suspected until the appropriate triangular yantras (algebraic arrays of integers) are developed for each cosmic cycle..." (McClain, p.
