	Indian English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Indian English is a catch-all phrase for the dialects or varieties of English spoken widely in India (by about 11% of the population, according to the 1991 census) and the Indian subcontinent in general, but also by Desis.
		American English, due to the burgeoning influence of American pop culture on the rest of the world, has begun challenging traditional British English as the premier brand of English spoken in the Indian subcontinent, though this is largely limited to the youth in the last decade or two.
		South Indians tend to curl the tongue more for 'l' and 'n' sounds, while Bengalis (from both India and Bangladesh)and Biharis often substitute 'j' for 'z' (as in 'jero' instead of 'zero').

	HIMAL SOUTH ASIAN
		In modern times, South Asia has constituted itself as a region that is integrating itself through paradigms of politics and social movements that are becoming increasingly common despite, and because of, the numerous tensions and conflicts between the sovereign states of the region.
		If South Asian identity and strategy are to be pursued, they have to be recognised elsewhere in the world: they cannot remain private or local obsessions of the population of South Asia.
		It is often said that the platform for South Asian regionalism is shared history and culture, but it seems that while many people of this zone have some common experiences, their histories are contrary, contradictory and sometimes downright hostile to each other.

	Science Fair Projects - Indian English
		Indian English is a catch-all phrase for the dialects or varieties of English spoken widely in India (by about 11% of the population, according to the 1991 census) and the Indian subcontinent in general.
		It will be found that excellent English bearing fewer regional grammatical peculiarities is spoken in upper-class families (commonly referred to, in India, as 'Westernised'), though even among them hints of a uniquely Indian flavor (particularly in a so-called 'Indianised' British accent) are typically retained.
		What is characterized as Indian English is not considered "correct usage" by either government-related institutions (such as offices and schools) or educated Indians who prize 'proper' English.

		The field of world Englishes represents a paradigm shift in the conceptualization of English language variation—from monolithic to multicultural—in so far as diverse linguistic, cultural and ideological voices are able to articulate.
		Students will therefore be introduced to the formal and functional implications of the global spread and stratification of English, its acculturation in “non-native” contexts, bilingual creativity, and learning and teaching of English as a second (additional) language.
		The underlying aim of the course is to demonstrate how the study of world Englishes, with its emphasis on plurality, problematizes the established orthodoxies in the applied linguistics study of English as a second language (ESL).

	2004 Indian Ocean earthquake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Each of these megathrust earthquakes also spawned tsunamis (in the Pacific Ocean), but the death toll from these was significantly lower; a few thousand for the worst one, probably because of the lower population density along the coasts near affected areas and the much greater distances to more populated coasts.
		The tsunami was noticed as far as Struisbaai in South Africa, some 8,500 km (5,300 miles) away, where a 1.5 m (5 feet) high ‘tide’ surged onshore about 16 hours after the quake.
		In mid-March, the Asian Development Bank reported that over USD 4 billion in aid promised by government was behind schedule.

		Indians were taken over as indentured labor to far-flung parts of the empire in the nineteenth-century, a circumstance to which the modern Indian populations of Fiji, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad, Surinam, Malaysia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and other places attest in their own peculiar ways.
		Over two million Indian men fought on behalf of the empire in numerous wars, including the Boer War and the two World Wars, and some remained behind to claim the land on which they had fought as their own.
		Indians, and other South Asians, provided the labor that helped in the reconstruction of war-torn Europe, particularly the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and in more recent years unskilled labor from South Asia has been the main force in the transformation of the physical landscape of much of the Middle East.

	South Asian English Instructors Learn U.S. Teaching Methods
		Schwartz made his observations to a group of 24 Indian and Pakistani English teachers who have been studying techniques for teaching English as a second language in a State Department-sponsored program at the George Washington University. Schwartz met with the teachers on July 28, at the end of their six-week program.
		Sharma added that implementing such a system in South Asia “will really help to create interest in the learning and teaching of English not only among the teachers, but among the students, and that is the beauty of this program.”
		After returning to their home schools, the teachers will be able to remain in touch through an alumni program created by the State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. They also will be eligible to apply for grants to help fund projects they seek to undertake.
