Have you folks seen these maps? They look real nice.

Beautiful drawings

those maps remind me of an idea from borgel by daniel pinkwater. (i read it 15 years ago, so this may be totally wrong.) in it, some character doesn't believe that moscow exists because he hasn't been there and seen it.

"I hope you'll marry another Bengali," an aunt told me. Over the years that relaxed to, "I hope she's a Hindu, even if she's not Bengali." Then it became, "At least another Indian," until finally we reached, "I hope you'll get married to someone before we all die."

haha, i've heard this sequence before!

i talked to a gay mba student when i was in india last december. he said that they don't experience much direct discrimination because they are not very vocal yet. he's involved in advocacy, and fears that when they become more prominent, a backlash may ensue. many indians can still be swayed by dogmatic ideologues, as seen in the recent history of gujrat.
